Science of sound animations
This set of animations supports learning in sound at levels D-F in the 5-14 National Guidelines for Science.
Sound
Level D: Use the terms pitch and volume to describe sound.
Level F: Describe the relationship between pitch and frequency, and between loudness and amplitude.
Explore amplitude, frequency and wavelength.
Change pitch and volume; display waveforms on a virtual oscilloscope.
See the difference in wave envelopes created by various sound makers.
Compare the speed of sound in air, water and steel.
Level E: Explain what happens when sound travels through different materials
See how sound waves travel in a solid.
See how sound waves travel in a gases.
Let air in to hear the bell; pump air out and the sound fades away.
See how a single pulse of sound travels in a solid.
