In this ESL worksheet, students read the given article and its presented vocabulary throughout.  Students respond to 51 short answer, matching, true/false, and fill in the blank questions.    

Students study the world's rainforests for unusual plant and animal species. They explore how biologists use infrared cameras to explore jungles.

Sound engineering technicians have opportunities to work in many venues, from radio stations to Broadway shows. Find out about the education needed for this career and read about the life of a sound technician who freelances for live...

This resource provides information about careers for broadcast and sound technicians. Includes information about the nature of the work, working conditions, employment, training, job outlook, earnings, and related occupations.

Sound the alarm! Fire alarms and fire trucks are perfect examples of communicating with light and sound. Students will begin to understand the engineering principles behind why fire alarms and fire engines use both light and sound to...

The Sound and Light unit provides students with an understanding of sound and light waves through the theme of the "Sunken Treasure," a continuous story line throughout the lessons. In Lessons 1-5, students learn about sound, and in...

This is the last of five sound lessons, and it introduces acoustics as the science of studying and controlling sound. Students learn how different materials reflect and absorb sound.

Students follow the steps of the engineering design process to create their own ear trumpet devices (used before modern-day hearing aids), including testing them with a set of reproducible sounds. They learn to recognize different...

Students model and design the sound environment for a room. They analyze the sound performance of different materials that represent wallpaper, thick curtains, and sound-absorbing panels. Then, referring to the results of their analysis,...

Why do humans have two ears? How do the properties of sound help with directional hearing? Students learn about directional hearing and how our brains determine the direction of sounds by the difference in time between arrival of sound...

Students investigate how sound travels through string and air. First, they analyze the sound waves with a paper cup attached to a string. Then, they combine the string and cup with a partner to model a string telephone. Finally, they are...

Students measure the wavelength of sounds and learn basic vocabulary associated with waves. As a class, they brainstorm the difference between two tuning forks and the sounds they produce. Then they come up with a way to measure that...

In this lesson, students learn about sound. Girls and boys are introduced to the concept of frequency and how it applies to musical sounds.

Students are introduced to the concept of the image of music. After listening to a song, they draw images of it by deciding where different musical instruments were placed during recording. They further investigate audio engineering by...

Using microphones connected to computers running Audacity software, student teams experiment with machine-generated sounds and their own voices and observe the resulting sound waves on the screen, helping them to understand that sounds...

The marine environment is unique and requires technologies that can use sound to gather information since there is little light underwater. For this lesson, the learners will be shown benthic habitat images produced by GIS. These images...

Student teams learn about and devise technical presentations on four reproductive technology topics pregnancy ultrasound, amniocentesis, in-vitro fertilization or labor anesthetics. Each team acts as a panel of engineers asked to make a...

Students learn about how sound sensors work, reinforcing their similarities to the human sense of hearing. This instructional activity and its associated activity enable students to appreciate how robots can take sensor input and use it...

Students investigate the materials properties-such as acoustical absorptivity, light reflectivity, thermal conductivity, hardness, and water resistancea-of various materials. They use sound, light and temperature sensors to collect data...

Students will understand and predict wave phenomena, and investigate the energy contained in waves. They will gain a deeper understanding of waves and wave interference that will enable characterization and engineering of matter from the...

Explains all the things that must be taken into consideration when engineers evaluate the soundness and viability of a particular design.

In this illustrated physics tutorial, students learn about sound wave behaviors and apply them to the reflection, diffraction, and refraction of sound waves.

Students will play the role of the audio engineer who monitors and adjusts the audio levels for a production. This animated interactive job exploration experience familiarizes students with some of the skills involved in audio engineering.

Basic information about education and other requirements for an audio engineering career is offered here.
