Traveling at the Speed of Sound
High schoolers discuss sound and how it's measured, and through experimentation and implementation of the scientific method, they determine the speed of sound.
Curated OER
HW Unit 10:5-Sound
In this sound worksheet, students answer 17 questions about sound, the wavelength of sounds, the frequency of sounds, the speed of sound, the types of sound waves and the effects of the medium sound travels through on its speed.
Curated OER
Math in Science-Sound Reasoning
In this basic math skills worksheet, students use division, decimals and multiplication to calculate the speed of sound in water and compare it to the speed in air. They calculate distances sound travels in water and the time it takes...
Curated OER
Sound
In this sound worksheet, students read about sound waves, how they are graphed, what frequency is and how it's related to pitch and the speed of sound. Students solve 8 sections of problems including matching terms related to sound to...
