Students learn about a "sound environment" and how it is important when building a structure. In this sound environment lesson plan, students learn how acoustical engineering is important to building a structure and how sound waves...

In this waving flag learning exercise, students listen to the song, fill in the missing words, complete a crossword and word search, and more. Students complete 5 activities.

Students read a variety of web-based articles to explore the history of human understanding of light. They investigate light waves and read about the work of Albert Einstein.

Students examine and discuss past and current migration patterns in Canada. Using populatioon maps they complete a worksheet on migration waves.

Young scholars investigate the geography surrounding the Great Salt Lake and the three main benches in the area. In this Great Salt Lake lesson, students read a background for the areas geography and make their own beach to analyze wave...

In this science worksheet, students locate 28 words in a word search. The focus of the word search is vocabulary connected to the study of sound waves.

If the delay between a sound and its echo is less than 1/10th of a second, the human ear can’t distinguish it. Through the use of a Slinky, rubber band guitar, and straws, scholars explore where sound comes from and how it travels....

Have a seismic moment with your class as you show this animated video on earthquakes. Viewers find that quakes occur on faults and are caused by shifting of continental plates. They learn what properties are studied by seismologists and...

Make sound visible with an activity that provides directions for how to build a vocal visualizer meant to create light patterns. Making noise into the visualizer causes a mirror to vibrate, reflecting a laser beam, and creating...

Young historians channel the very medium used to convey news during World War I. They create and present a five-minute radio broadcast on a particular topic from the war, such as the roles of African Americans and women, war bonds,...

Ninth graders are introduced to the components of compressional and transverse. They practice answering speed problems involving different mediums that waves travel trhough and then review the wave PowerPoint. They then visit physics...

Students explain the wave properties of light.

In this earthquake worksheet, students will study a graph showing the travel time and distance traveled for primary and secondary waves of an earthquake. Students will use this graph to complete 8 short answer questions.

Students examine wave formation. In this wave lesson plan, students discover how waves are formed and how the weather at sea is predicted. Students study ocean vocabulary and understand the Beaufort Wind Force Scale.

In this earthquake worksheet, students will study a table showing the travel times of seismic waves from an earthquake. Students will use this information to determine when and where the earthquake occurred. This worksheet has 6 short...

In this finding epicenters worksheet, students complete a table given the "P" and "S" wave arrival times of 6 different earthquakes. Students calculate the difference in arrival time of the waves, the distance to the epicenter, the "P"...

For this solar tsunami worksheet, students are given three images of the progress of a Morton Wave on the sun. They solve six problems using the images to find the radius of the sun's disk, the scale of the image, and the time that...

Students model the effects of wind speed and water depth on the height of waves during a hurricane. In this meteorology lesson plan, students use a flexible straw and a 9X 13 baking dish to measure the differences in wave...

In this AC phase worksheet, students answer 24 questions about AC and DC voltages, phasor diagrams, sine wave graphs and Lissajous figures.

Students investigate the urban heat island effect. In this urban heat island effect lesson, students learn how trees, grass, asphalt, and other things on the school grounds effect temperature. They use the information to generalize it to...

Students reflect on the popular culture of their own country and explore the "Korean Wave" of popular culture in East Asia. They research the popular cultures of various countries around the world and present their findings in an...

Third graders explore how barrier islands work. For this erosion lesson, 3rd graders create barrier islands in stream tables and simulate wave action to see how it affects their island.

In this measuring speed in the universe learning exercise, students use photographs of 3 astronomical phenomena including supernova explosions, coronal mass ejections and solar flare shock waves to find how fast they move. The...

Students identify and explain these vocabulary words: vibration, volume, pitch, particles, tuning forks, waves and matter. They explain that sound travels through gas, liquid and solid. They be
