Take a look at an organized physics course. The 34-section electronic textbook covers material in AP® Physics 1 and 2. Teachers use the text to supplement lectures and have the class work through the labs. Each section contains...

Stop wasting energy searching for physics resources, this comprehensive collection of worksheets has you covered. Starting with introductions to the scientific method, dimensional analysis, and graphing data, these skills practice...

What do physicists and musicians have in common? A lot more than you might think. After first viewing a slide show presentation and completing a series of skills practice worksheets on the physics of light, sound, and...

What is the net effect when two waves interfere with each other? The lesson plan answers this question by helping the class visualize waves through graphing. Pupils graph individual waves and determine the effect of the interference...

Waves, waves, and more waves. Here, class members look at the many types and characteristics of energy waves including transverse, longitudinal, standing, seismic, p-waves, s-waves, and l-waves. 

Imagine a presentation that covers electromagnetic waves, electromagnetic radiation, radio waves, microwaves, the visible light spectrum, UV, X-ray, and gamma rays. Here's one. Packed with facts and colorful illustrations, 11-slide...

Physics is like music—practice makes perfect! Challenge your class using an interactive that builds harmonic skills. The engaging lesson from a playlist exploring sounds and waves revolves around wave behavior in closed-end air columns....

Help pupils see the world through the eyes of a mathematician. As they examine tide patterns, sound waves, and stock market patterns using trigonometric functions, learners create scatter plots and write best-fit functions. 

Generally, scholars struggle on the free response portion of the AP Physics 1 exam more than the multiple-choice section. Scholars benefit from additional practice with the help of previous test questions, including questions on forces,...

Since light travels faster than sound, some people may appear bright until you hear them speak. The presentation covers what sound is, how fast it travels in various mediums, properties of sound, hearing, and the parts of the human...

What is a prism? A place for light waves that commit minor refractions! The thorough resource includes three hands-on investigations covering light reflection and refraction; mirrors, lenses, and images; and optical systems. Subject...

Instructional module focusing on waves and wave motion. Discussion includes wave theories, wave basics, and wave speed. The site also includes an interactive practice quiz and links relating to the topic.

Students explore traveling waves and wave propagation. The resource links to courses with videos, online textbook materials, simulations, and practice problems.

Determine the wavelength and amplitude of a wave based on the vertical position vs. horizontal position graph.

Determine the speed of a sound wave through an alien atmosphere. You must also find the frequency of the wave source and the wavelength of the wave.

Determine the speed of a wave based on reading the vertical position vs. time graph simultaneously with the vertical position vs. horizontal position graph.

This program asks students to determine the variables in a wave equation. Students must determine wavelength, frequency, and amplitude.

In this problem you must determine the intensity of a sound wave when it reaches a given location away from its source.

Practice reading an oscilloscope. Students must achieve a score or 10 or more. At the end students should be able to get frequency, period, voltage and peak to peak voltage.

A site for students to practice viewing two sound waves interference and analyze the patterns formed.

This site provides a list of the topics and links to the Physics (Combined Science)courses offered in GCSE Bitesize and a list of contents of each. The topics include the following: Energy, Electricity, Matter, Radioactivity, Forces,...

With sample data, equations, and practice problems, students explore the concept of wave speed.

Determine the period, frequency and amplitude of the wave that produced the position vs. time graph shown below.

Students discover factors that affect the speed of sound waves through a medium with illustrated examples and interactive practice problems.
