Students discover that the waves only happen when certain conditions are met. They learn about the idea of resonance. Students explore different sounds and explain how they hear them. They conduct a survey to determine how high a frequency of sound they can hear. A project guide explaining how to construct musical instruments that can be built by students.
Students create waves on the vibrating string and learn about resonance.
Students explore the properties of sound in terms of frequency and percieved loudness and pitch. Students build chords by playing specific frequencies and learn how to construct musical scales that have pleasant sounds. By combining the sounds from two or more Sound and Wave oscillators, students explore the phenomena of beats and interference.
