Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Sound Waves. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Mechanical waves require a medium through which to travel.
Kinetic energy exists in the form of sound energy when vibrations are transmitted as waves through materials.
Waves can be generated when energy is transferred from one medium to another.
Sound travels faster through denser materials.
Waves transmit energy, but never transmit matter.
Sound travels faster through materials with higher elasticity.
A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave.
Seismic P waves are the same as sound waves.
Sound waves can diffract and bend around a barrier between two media.
In a sound wave, greater amplitude corresponds to louder volume.
In a sound wave, higher frequency corresponds with higher pitch.
A wave is a disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another.
Sound waves are longitudinal waves.
Sound intensity decreases with distance from source.
When sound waves strike a barrier between two media, they reflect back and are perceived as an echo.
Sound waves travel out in all directions from their source.
Sound waves can be absorbed when they transmit from one medium to another.
Sound waves can interfere with each other constructively or destructively.
Sound waves can refract when they transmit from one medium to another, causing them to change speed and direction.
Discussion Questions
Before the Game
What is a sound? What is a wave? How many different types of waves can you name?
After the Game
What are two characteristics of a sound wave? What is the difference between amplitude and frequency of a sound wave? How does the media through which a sound wave passes affect the sound?
