With their action plans in place, groups now develop a presentation to get others interested in their project. Scholars learn how to present themselves during a presentation and elaborate on and add visuals to their presentation. After...

Amazingly, still images can produce sound. Watch as a video lesson describes the process scientists use to recover sound from still photography. The lesson includes discussion of sound waves, vibrations, and frequencies.

If a tree falls in the forest and no person is around, does it still make a sound? Students view a short video segment to determine sound and decibel levels of various objects, including the loudest and quietest possible sounds humans...

What makes sound possible? Answer this question while viewing the 18th lesson of a complete Crash Course physics series. After discussing waves in previous lessons, the narrator applies those characteristics to sound waves and their...

Listen in as Mia and Sam expound on sound. It is caused by vibrations and travels in waves. It has the qualities of pitch, frequency, and volume. This hip animation displays a graph to depict the frequency and amplitude of sound waves....
