Students manipulate their “oboes” to change the pitch/frequency and the amplitude of the waves their instruments produce. The activity is similar to my sound waves CER and expands on it making it more open ended and student centered. This activity is a great introduction to wav

This product does not come with additional instructions for the teacher. Students pretty simply hit tuning forks with mallets, with as consistent force as possible, and then put the f
