Waves Worksheet
In this light waves activity, students complete 7 short answer questions where they analyze and record findings about the properties of light waves.
Curated OER
Tuned in: Tuning Forks and Sine waves
Students explore the characteristics of a pure sound wave produced by a tuning fork. They use sine waves to find a curve to fit the sound wave data produced by the tuning fork. A CBL and microphone is required for this activity.
Curated OER
Sound Waves
Sixth graders discover how sound is made from vibration and moves in all directions from the source in waves. They see that sound waves can be "seen" if they are translated into light. An excellent experiment is imbedded in this...
Curated OER
Wave Erosion Lesson
Fourth graders examine the effects of waves as they erode coastal land. They discover how the power of water can change the appearance of land formations.
Curated OER
Wonderful Waves
In this science worksheet, students perform an investigation about sound waves and vibration. Students use a pan of water and toothpicks to make and observe ripples. Students answer 4 essay questions about their observations.
Curated OER
Waves And Sound Word Search Puzzle
In this language arts activity, students study 6 words which pertain to sound waves. Students locate the words in a word search puzzle.
