High schoolers examine the many types of electromagnetic waves, the concept of an EM wave, how James Clerk Maxwell proposed a slight modification of the equations of electricity, Heinrich Hertz and his radio-frequency, wavelengths, and...

Using their knowledge of physics, students will build a wind chime. Mathematical computations will be done to determine the length of the pipes.

A thorough explanation of the wave equation (Speed = Wavelength * Frequency). A data table and questions to check one's understanding are also part of this lesson.

This site offers a variety of everyday activities and everyday experiences in which waves or sound waves play a role.
