Physics of Sound: How does length affect pitch? part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an investigation where students use tools to determine how the length of a sound source affects its pitch.

Exploring Sound: Length Makes a Difference part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this introductory physics lab activity, students explore the sounds made by the free-end of a ruler vibrating off the end of a desk.

Investigation of Pitch & Rate of Vibration part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This is an activity demonstrating how pitch varies using water bottles, and allows students to investigate pitch further with rulers, straws, and water bottles.

Working with a handmade oscilloscope part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is where students build and use an oscilliscope exploring with sound and sound waves.

Investigating Sound Waves part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an experiment on how sound is energy and travels in waves. Students will investigate sound using different objects in the room.

Experimenting with sound/compression waves through vibration. part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an inquiry lesson where students investigate objects and their associated sound due to vibration. Students will write their observation and interpret how and why sound vibrations occurs.

Investigating Sound: Vibrations are the Source of Sound part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a classroom activity where students use the inquiry method to answer the question "How is sound made?" by observing different sound producers and coming up with their own conclusion.

Sound Makers part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This inquiry lab activity involves students working to understand that sound is made from vibrations.

Investigating Sounds: Identifying Vibration, Pitch, and Volume part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Students will investigate how sounds are made and changed, record their findings in their journal, share these findings with the class, and develop further questions about sound.

Investigating Sound: A Lesson in Length and Pitch part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
In this classroom guided inquiry lesson, students will rotate through five stations of various sound instruments to look at how length affects pitch. Student will develop a hypothesis, make observations, and draw a conclusion about what happens when the length of the vibrating sound source changes.

The Nature of Sound with a Slinky part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a classroom lesson on how a slinky relates to sound waves and how sound waves relate to the human ear.

Investigating Sound: Using pipe music to understand pitch and length. part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is a classroom experiment where students learn about sound. Students will use musical instruments to explore the relationship between length and pitch.

Listening challenge with your ears part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This is a small group kindergarten activity where students determine what film containers sound the same by using their sense of hearing.

Investigating Sound: Using Open Tubes To Demonstrate Beat Notes part of MnSTEP Teaching Activity Collection:MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
Open tube resonators of nearly identical length produce sound waves with frequencies very close together. The difference between the two frequenciesy is the beat note frequency heard when two resonators (musical intruments)are slightly out-of-tune.
