Physics of Sound: How does length affect pitch? part of 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.

Investigating Pendulums: Calculating the Effect of Mass, Length, and Angular Displacement on Period part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This physics lab activity is an introduction to Simple Harmonic Motion, utilizing the variables of mass, length, and angular displacement to determine their effect on period. Acceleration of gravity is calculated and the results of manual data collection and Vernier LabPro data collection are compared.

Exploring Sound: Length Makes a Difference part of 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 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 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 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 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.

Period of a Pendulum Investigation part of MnSTEP Activity Mini-collection
This activity is an investigation into the period of a pendulum where students will write an equation for a pendulum experiencing simple harmonic motion.

Investigating Sound: Vibrations are the Source of Sound part of 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 Activity Mini-collection
This inquiry lab activity involves students working to understand that sound is made from vibrations.
