Sound Waves in Instruments Lab
3 Part Discovery Lab (Part A- Wine Glasses B- Glass Bottles C- Musical Straw)
Inquiry-based approach to teaching students how different objects naturally have different frequencies (resonant frequencies).My students loved being able to "explore" sound instead of just practicing wave vocab over and over. This lab focuses on how all sounds are produced by vibrations, how high pitched sounds are caused by fast vibrations ( and vice-versa) and how high pitched sounds are represented by high freque

Sound Waves STEM
This fun STEM activities allows students to investigate the relationship between sound waves and amplitude and wavelength. The activity allows the students to build a straw “oboe” that vibrates to produce sound waves. Students manipulate their “oboes” to change the pitch/frequency and the amplitude of the waves their instruments produce. The activity is similar to my sound waves CER and expands on it making it more open ended and student centered. This activity is a great introduction to wav

Tuning Fork Lab
This is a fairly quick laboratory activity to give students a hands-on experience with frequency and sound. Materials needed are tuning forks, rulers, and some beakers or basins of water. This activity will help students make a connection between size of instrument, wave length, frequency, pitch, and musical notes. This product does not come with additional instructions for the teacher. Students pretty simply hit tuning forks with mallets, with as consistent force as possible, and then put the f
