Serc: Mn Step: Sound Makers
For this activity, students make a sound cylinder using a cardboard tube, and investigate the sound wave vibrations they can feel at its end when they speak into it.
Ducksters
Ducksters: Physics for Kids: Sound Pitch and Acoustics
Kids learn more about the science and physics of sound. Pitch, acoustics, and the doppler effect. How the frequency of the sound wave affects the pitch we hear.
Ducksters
Ducksters: Kids Science Projects and Experiments: Sound Pitch
Kids learn by experimenting with science. Project showing how sound waves effect pitch.
