Flip and Flop: An Adaptation Through Dancing Echoes with Shapes and Locomotor Movement
Dancers practice echoing through dance. They listen to a story "Flip and Flop" and then are put into pairs. One partner is Flip, while the other is Flop. Flip creates a shape by dancing, and Flop, the other student, echoes that shape by...

Bats Do It-Why Can't I?
Students explore echos and how they are utilised in navigation. In this sound lesson students calculate the amount of time between a sound and its echo.
Curated OER
Super Sonar
In this echo lesson plan, students create echos using rubbers balls and a chair to simulate animals finding out where they are. Students follow 3 sets of directions and answer 2 questions.

Internet Dictionary Search-Hearing
In this hearing worksheet, students use a given internet site to find the definition and the part of speech for 9 terms related to hearing and sound.
Curated OER
What Shape Is It?
Students predict the shape of an unknown object by bouncing a ball on it. In this physics lesson, students relate this activity to how dolphins use echo-location to navigate. They analyze their lab result and discuss findings.
