Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move.
In this unit, students focus on the science phenomena of sound and hearing. Students begin with this lesson that has them exploring how sound causes matter to vibrate and how it moves differently through solids and liquids. This page highlights each component of this lesson.
In this unit, students analyze the science phenomenon of how sound is a form of energy that travels through vibrating molecules. They test whether sound travels through both liquid and solid mediums and observe how sound makes sand particles vibrate. In this lesson, students apply their scientific knowledge of sound to an engineering challenge.
In this unit, students build on their exploration of how energy and matter interact with a focus on science phenomena related to sound. In this lesson, students investigate how some materials absorb sound while others reflect it. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.
In this unit, students focus on how sound energy is transferred from one place to another in waves. In this engineering lesson, students apply what they have learned about sound energy to design a sound absorbing wall. This page highlights each component of this lesson.
