Serc: Investigating Sounds: Identifying Vibration, Pitch, and Volume

Curated by ACT

In this investigation, students will observe and experiment with how sounds are made. They will use various elementary music instruments as well as tuning forks, combs, rubber bands, books, bottles, etc. They will collect data on how their sounds were made in their Science journals. Following a discussion of their findings, they will generate questions about what they would like to find out about sound. They will then return to their investigations to observe how their original sounds can be changed and record this data in their journals as well. Finally, there will be another discussion to share their information.
