  5. 18 Lessons to Teach the Science of Sound

    3. A Kazoo Like a Drum. With the Make a Kazoo activity, students make a simple kazoo from a cardboard tube and then perform a series of tests to see how the sound from the kazoo changes as the design of the kazoo changes. Although tubular in form, the way a kazoo makes noise is similar to how a drum works, as sound waves bounce down the tube to strike the covering (membrane) at the end.

  6. Make Some Waves

    In this activity, students use their own creativity (and their bodies) to make longitudinal and transverse waves. Through the use of common items, they will investigate the difference between longitudinal and transverse waves. This engineering curriculum aligns to Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS ). Students investigate longitudinal and ...

  7. Waves in Slow Motion

    This is how it works. Wind causes water to pile up above the undisturbed water level. The water under the crest (or peak) of the wave feels the extra water pushing down on it. The extra weight then pushes water out from under the peak of the wave. The moving water overshoots and creates a peak in a new place, and so the wave moves on.

  13. 16.9 Waves

    The wave in Figure 16.29 propagates in the horizontal direction while the surface is disturbed in the vertical direction. Such a wave is called a transverse wave or shear wave; in such a wave, the disturbance is perpendicular to the direction of propagation. In contrast, in a longitudinal wave or compressional wave, the disturbance is parallel ...

  14. Young's double slit introduction (video)

    Explore Young's Double Slit experiment, a cornerstone in understanding light as a wave. Discover how light waves spread out, overlap, and create patterns of constructive and destructive interference. Uncover the rules of wave interference in two dimensions, and how path length differences lead to these intriguing patterns.

  16. Light Wave Experiments

    This experiment shows how light waves reflect differently from curved surfaces by dispersing in different directions. Spectrum Rainbow. Stand in your front yard on a warm day, an hour or two before or after noon. Turn your back to the sun. Hold a water hose and adjust the pressure nozzle for a fine mist spray. Spray a large mist against a dark ...

  17. Atmospheric Waves Experiment

    The Atmospheric Waves Experiment (AWE) is a NASA instrument to be mounted on the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS) for the study of atmospheric gravity waves (not to be confused with astrophysical gravitational waves).. AWE was built by the Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory, and the mission is led by Michael Taylor of Utah State University. [1]

  18. Double-slit experiment

    Double-slit experiment. In modern physics, the double-slit experiment demonstrates that light and matter can satisfy the seemingly incongruous classical definitions for both waves and particles. This ambiguity is considered evidence for the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics. This type of experiment was first performed by ...

  19. Science Experiments for Kids: Wave in a Bottle

    Materials to Make Your Own Wave in a Bottle: Clear bottle (we used a repurposed plastic bottle but you could alternatively use a heavy duty glass bottle) Water. Cheap oil (we used the same oil we buy for homemade play dough) Blue food dye. "W" letter beads. Kitchen tray for easy clean-up. 2 measuring cups. Funnel, optional.

    Gradient = v /2 (m s -1) Plot a graph of the mean values of f against 1/ L. Draw a line of best fit and calculate the gradient. Work out the wave speed, which will be 2 × gradient: If the frequency is plotted again the inverse of the length, the velocity is twice the gradient of the graph. Verify the wave speed of the travelling waves using ...
