Since light travels faster than sound, some people may appear bright until you hear them speak. The presentation covers what sound is, how fast it travels in various mediums, properties of sound, hearing, and the parts of the human...

In this secondary mathematics worksheet, students use the given information regarding a rocket’s distance and time to calculate the speed of sound.  The one page worksheet contains one problem with the solution. 

In this explanation of sound worksheet, students discover what sound is, how different sounds are made, frequency, how sound travels, how we hear, and a summarization. In this physical science worksheet, students answer ten comprehension...

In this sound worksheet, high schoolers answer 17 questions about sound, the wavelength of sounds, the frequency of sounds, the speed of sound, the types of sound waves and the effects of the medium sound travels through on its speed.

In this basic math skills worksheet, students use division, decimals and multiplication to calculate the speed of sound in water and compare it to the speed in air. They calculate distances sound travels in water and the time it takes...

Each of these slides has notes for a teacher to support the activities that are planned for the students. The slides give details and facts about sound waves. Although this slide show delivers useful information about the sound waves,...

In this sound worksheet, students read about sound waves, how they are graphed, what frequency is and how it's related to pitch and the speed of sound. Students solve 8 sections of problems including matching terms related to sound to...

Explore how sound travels as waves with a straightforward lesson that explains the basics of waves in relation to sound. The presentation considers sound waves in both open and closed pipes and shows how to calculate wavelength and...

In this waves activity, students use the equation for wave speed to calculate frequency or wavelength. This activity has 5 problems to solve.

In this speed of a galaxy learning exercise, students use a given equation for the speed of an object and they use the spectral lines for Hydrogen Alpha and Beta from the Seyfert galaxy to answer 6 questions. They determine the observed...

In this physics 210 activity, learners answer the question of the predicted modes of oscillations heard based on the information provided in the word problems. Students apply their understanding of sound waves to answer the questions given.

In this light worksheet, students read what makes light, the speed of light, and the electromagnetic spectrum. Students complete 12 matching, 8 fill in the blank, and 9 word problems.

You matter, unless you multiply yourself by the speed of light ... then you energy. Presentation covers the behavior of light as both a wave and a particle, light versus sound, space travel, why objects have colors, depth perception,...

In this acoustics worksheet, students use a chart of the speed of sound through different materials to determine which materials should be used to build certain building types. Students complete 2 short answer questions.

Send this cute activity home with kids, to increase family involvement. They'll consider what would happen if rice was bounced in a tambourine, and then they'll complete a sound activity by makings an instrument out of wax paper and a...

This wave and electromagnetism assignment is so thorough, it could be used as a unit exam. The first section of it covers wave concepts. The next section addresses static electricity. There is a section that deals with electric circuits....
