What educators are saying

This was an awesome activity and was perfect for us since we had packed up all our lab supplies to do a remodel of the building and had no equipment to use.

Description

How do amplitude and frequency influence the properties of waves? In this virtual lab, students will analyze mechanical, sound, and light waves. Students will also:

⚗️Test their Pre-Existing Knowledge of Wave Structure

⚗️Analyze the Relationship between Amplitude and Frequency

⚗️Describe how Sound Pitch & Volume are influenced by Wave Properties

⚗️Compare & Measure the Wavelengths of Light on the Color Spectrum

NOTE: This activity links to the free Interactive from PhET Simulations. Check it out below!

Waves Intro: Basics

Purchase includes the 4-page Student Worksheet (PDF), 4-page Teacher Answer Key (PDF), and 4-page Digital Student Worksheet (Google).

VIRTUAL LEARNING

This lab comes with a Google Slides version of the Student Worksheet hyperlinked in the Teacher Answer Key - this lab is designed for digital and face-to-face learning!

Standards

NGSSMS-PS4-1
Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave. Emphasis is on describing waves with both qualitative and quantitative thinking. Assessment does not include electromagnetic waves and is limited to standard repeating waves.
NGSSMS-PS4-2
Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Emphasis is on both light and mechanical waves. Examples of models could include drawings, simulations, and written descriptions. Assessment is limited to qualitative applications pertaining to light and mechanical waves.
NGSSHS-PS4-1
Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media. Examples of data could include electromagnetic radiation traveling in a vacuum and glass, sound waves traveling through air and water, and seismic waves traveling through the earth. Assessment is limited to algebraic relationships and describing those relationships qualitatively.
