This lesson plan examines methods of critiquing and review films based on elements of sight and sound. Included in the lesson plan is an overview, practice, objectives, resources, preparation, and more.

A very simple device to convert light into sound can be made by wiring a solar cell directly to headphones (or an earpiece). The solar cell converts light into electricity and the headphones convert electricity into sound. The limitation...

Here is described a simple process to 'put a voice on a sunbeam' and transmit it over a distance. It is a fascinating example of amplitude modulation of light using sound vibrations. It then describes how the modulated light is detected...

At this site from the Nobel e-Museum, you can read about the scientific work of Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919 CE). This article includes information on his education and experiments with light and sound waves.

Students learn how laser communication systems are built by observing how sound can be encoded into, and transmitted by a light beam.

This site from Architectural Acoustics and Lighting provides a discussion of various factors affecting the acoustics of a given room. Room dimensions, the wavelength of the sound wave, the physical characteristics of the walls, the...

This site focuses on the collection of Faulkner's work that is stored at the University of Virginia. Students and teachers will benefit from these resources.

ArtsAlive provides a detailed look into world of professional theatre. Thematically organized content walks through all the processes involved in "transforming a play from the page to the stage," including playwriting, directing, acting,...

The Nobel Foundation provides a biography of Bragg. This site focuses primarily on his activities and accomplishments as a scientist.

A simple demonstration is described which shows how a transistor works. By including the audience into the actual circuit and by lighting LED's it shows the potential of the simple transistor amplifier. The extension to two transistors -...
