Sound Waves: Interactive Lesson
Sound Waves: Interactive Lesson
Standards:
MS-PS4-A. Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that include how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
Summary: This resource goes over the vocabulary that allows us to discuss waves (such as wavelength, amplitude, energy, etc.), and gives examples of the different types of waves that occur when listening or playing music. This allows for students to move module by module to get an individual understanding of each aspect of sound waves and using the vocabulary in context before giving a final project of creating a multimedia project to show learning.
Focus Questions:
Are sound waves longitudinal waves or transverse waves?
How do the particles of sound waves vibrate?
What is the distance between one compression to the next compression in a sound wave called?
What happens to the particles of a medium when the amplitude of the wave increases?

4 Sound Science Experiments for Kids
4 Sound Science Experiments for Kids
Babble Dabble Do
Summary:
This video shows 4 different sound experiments, and explains why the outcomes happened. I think this video is great because all of the experiments are easy to do and take few materials, so you could actually do them in your class. It is also a good video for pausing and making perdictions on what might happen during the video. Great for younger elementary!
Focus Questions:
What happened when the tunning fork hit the water?
What happened when the tunning fork hit the plastic with the rice on it? Why did that happen?
What was the experiment above demonstrating?
On a xylophone what sound does longer bars have?

Darwin and Newts | Sound is Vibration
Darwin and Newts | Sound is Vibration
Darwin and Newts| Crafts and Science for kids
Summary:
The characters Darwin and Newts explore what sound is, what makes a sound, and different types of sounds. This is such a cute video, and would be great for younger elementary. It's very engaging, as well as very informational. I would use this video as a way to expand students understanding of sound. I would say its a bit long for a hook.
Focus Questions:
What is an observation?
Do all sounds sound the same when you hit them?
What does a loud sound, sound like?
What happened when Darwin mover way far away from the sound? Did it get louder or quieter?
What is an example of an instrament that makes a loud sound?

Sounds are Caused by Vibrations
Sounds are Caused by Vibrations
Standards:
1-PS4-1. Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate
Summary: This entire video focuses on sound and vibrations. They start by examining that sounds are caused by different types of vibrations. They then try to make other objects vibrate by using sound to cause those vibrations.
Science Practices:
Asking Questions and Defining Problems
Planning and carrying out investigations
Cross-Cutting Concepts:
Cause and Effect
Energy and Matter
Nature of Science Practices:
Science is a way of knowing
Science is a human endeavor
Focus questions:
What do you predict will happen?
What causes sound?
Have you ever seen sound cause vibrations?

Can You See Sound?
Can You See Sound?
Article on Wonderopolis
Description:
This article explores the technology that uses sounds and echos to produce images! This kind of technology dates back to World War 1, but can also naturally be observed in some animals!
Focus Questions
What is the name of the process that animals use to see using sound?
What helps create the image- sound waves or echos?
What do we use ultrasounds for today?
Why do you think that field of science uses it the most?
Posted by Gracie Bostwick
Standards:
1-PS4-1 Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
1-PS4-4 Use tools and materials to design and build a device that uses light or sound to solve the problem of communicating over a distance
4-PS3-2 Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
4-PS3-3 Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
Description:
This video by Peekaboo Kidz shows students the many different ways in which sound is made and what sound is. It discusses the matter that sound can pass through as well. The way in which sound travels is the focus of the video. There is vocab throughout the video as well, such as the phrase "mechanical movement." The entire process of sound and sound waves is covered throughout the clip.
Focus questions:
What is sound?
What kinds of matter can sound waves pass through?
How does sound travel?
