Sound Vocabulary Cards
These vocabulary cards are used for my sound unit. The words include vibration, sound wave, echo, wavelength, frequency, pitch, amplitude, and volume. Each card contains a definition and a picture.

These cards are also sold as part of a set called Energy Unit Vocabulary Cards including all three units
