Wave Properties

In the last unit, students explored animal behaviors of parents and offspring that help the offspring survive and then designed a dam to stop the flow of water. In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of how animals communicate with one another using sound.

In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of waves and information transfer. For the first lesson of this unit, students identify the properties of different kinds of waves. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson. 

In this unit, students focus on the properties of different kinds of waves and the relationship between waves and energy. In this lesson, students design a simple seismograph using what they know about the properties of seismic waves produced by earthquakes. This page is a high-level extract of this lesson.

In this unit, students explore the science phenomena of sound by analyzing our senses and how we perceive sound. Once students have explored the relationship between sound and vibrations, they move on to discovering how musical instruments produce sound. 

In this unit, students focus on the science phenomenon of sound energy and how it is transferred from one place to another in waves. In this lesson, students experiment with sound waves and their interaction with matter. This page showcases key elements of this lesson.

In this lesson, students explore the science phenomena of waves, investigating properties of waves, how waves carry energy, and how they can be used to transmit information. This page highlights key components of this lesson.
