Speed of Sound

In this speed of sound worksheet, high schoolers determine how fast sound travels in air using a tuning fork of known frequency, a graduated cylinder and hollow glass tubing. Students record their data and calculate the wavelength of a...

How to oceanographers measure the sea's depth? Your scientists will step into their shoes in this application worksheet, first reading about how the speed of sound and a simple formula give scientists a depth estimation. Students...

Beautiful music doesn't just write itself, but if you ever feel bad about procrastinating, remember that Mozart wrote the overture to Don Giovanni the morning it premiered. Introduce young scientists to the elements of sound including...

In this sound worksheet, students understand how sound is created and how the human ear "hears." Students compare the frequency, amplitude, and speed of sound. Then students complete 10 matching, 7 fill in the blank, and 11 short answer...

This physics resource provides questions as well as information about sound, including frequency, oscillation, the Doppler shift, and more. There are 5 short answer questions that are mostly based on frequency. After the questions, there...

Using tuning forks and graduated cylinders, physical science class members determine the speed of sound. Lab groups explore the speed of sound by identifying resonance within varying lengths of tubes.

Students discuss the phenomenon of sound traveling much slower than light which results in seeing distant actions before hearing their accompanying sounds. They explain how knowing the distance from an action and timing the length of...

Resonate with the class. By watching a couple video, pupils realize that sound requires a medium to travel and can break glass. They then listen to a lecture on resonance and work through a lab to calculate the speed of sound using...

What would our world look like if we could see sound waves? The simulation shows sound waves in a variety of applications. Scholars adjust the frequency, volume, and location of the listener to understand how to determine the speed,...

In this waves and sound worksheet, students answer 23 questions about standing waves, wave reflections, wavelength and frequency and nodes and antinodes.
