Learning about waves can have its ups and downs, but a demo-packed tool kit has the class "standing" for more! Learners gain experience with several different wave types, organizing observations and data, and wave...

How can scientists lump heat, light and sound together when investigating properties and behaviors? This learning module will address that question through a series of activities.

A video and a short quiz on how sound travels in waves, its properties, and how to measure it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of sound, what sound waves are, how they are generated and what media they can travel through.

This physics tutorial explores forced vibration. Includes links to natural frequency, standing wave patterns and fundamental frequency and harmonics.

This lesson teaches students about how sound vibrations are transmitted through solids, liquids, and gases, and about how materials may absorb sound.

This lab is designed to help students visualize distance between two synchronized sources that will lead to constructive and destructive interference.

It might sound like science fiction, but if you press on a crystal of sugar, it will actually generate its own electricity. Ashwini Bharathula explains how piezoelectric materials turn mechanical stress, like pressure, sound waves and...
