A ripple tank is used in this video to calculate the speed of a water wave by measuring the distance and time. This is a GCSE Combined Science and Physics Required Practical.
A ripple tank is used in this video to calculate the speed of a water wave by measuring the frequency and wavelength. This is a GCSE Combined Science and Physics Required Practical.
How do the lights and sound at a nightclub coordinate together? The lights appear to flash in time to the beat, and change colour with the pattern of the sound. How is the signal from a sound source such as a CD player or DJ deck converted into a pattern of lights? In this project,...
This resource from Siemens encourages students to think about medical diagnosis and how information can assist the doctor in being effective and accurate. Students are asked to suggest ideas about the characteristics of a useful image to support a medical diagnosis. They then look at the properties of sound, how...
This resource from Siemens looks at how the ear works and how sounds are converted into nervous impulses. The activities aim to develop student’s understanding of the concept of loudness and the decibel. A signal generator is used to compare loudness to frequency and to demonstrate how sound is represented in waves...
Five activity sheets produced by Institute of Physics (IOP) to accompany the MODEL Project's Sounds Good video.
Worksheet one takes an overview of the topic. Worksheets two - five are targeted at specific sections of the video.
Answers to all the worksheet questions are provided in the Word document...
Aimed at primary level, this pack contains twenty activities which explore the links between science and music. Linked to the topic of sound, the activities investigate: how vibrations travel through different materials, making instrument on which the notes may be changed, creating animal noises using voices and...
Spooky Space Sounds contains a PowerPoint presentation which showcases sounds from space. The presentation aims to introduce general concepts and give a sense of how dynamic the Universe is. The resource also contains a Word document of teachers' notes with detailed descriptions and background information on each...
Produced by Becta, these case studies illustrate how information communication technology (ICT) can be used to enhance teaching and learning in science. This case study looks at how Flash animations were used to teach the difficult topic of sound.
Students find it difficult to imagine how sound waves move...
This Nuffield Primary Science book consists of 11 colourful, and highly illustrated, double-page spreads aimed at students aged 5-7:
*Musical sounds
*Peace and quiet
*What a lot of noise!
*Animal ears
*Listen everyone!
*Stephen’s day
*Sound puzzle
*Bells
*Body...
In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students interpret graphs of waves to understand concepts such as wavelength, frequency and phase.
The activities in this episode include:
• plotting displacement and drawing longitudinal waves
• considering phase
• understanding...
This video begins with the mnemonics Very furry lambs and Cute furry lambs.
Using a model of a railway carriage (its length, x and time taken to travel, t) the equation for velocity (v = x/t) is derived. Equating the length of the carriage to wavelength, λ and time to the period, T the...
