Carolina Introduction to Sound Kit

Grades 9-12. The 4 lessons in this kit enable students to explore the fundamental properties of sound waves. They measure the speed of sound, calculate wavelength and frequency, observe constructive and destructive wave interference, examine resonance, and demonstrate the Doppler effect.

Background information on the limits of human hearing, breaking the sound barrier, and frequency of bat sounds makes the concepts interesting and accessible to students.

Materials are sufficient for 32 students working in 8 groups.
