How do you show waves and sound in physics? Flinn Scientific offers engaging and instructional tools and demonstration kits to help effectively teach this concept.
360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.
In this lab experience, students will be able to demonstrate destructive interference of sound waves. By directing the sound wave from a tuning fork down two paths of differing length, the waves will be out of phase. When one of the path’s length differs by one-half of the wavelength, the waves will cancel each other out due to destructive interference. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.
In this lab experience, students create transverse and longitudinal waves to study the properties of waves, including amplitude, wavelength and frequency; and their effects on wave speed. This lab should help students shed the misconception that wave speed depends on frequency. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.
In the FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Lab for AP® Physics 1 Speed of Sound, students identify the physical variables that affect the force of sound between two objects.
Includes access to exclusive FlinnPREP™ digital content to combine the benefits of classroom, laboratory and digital learning. Each blended learning lab solution includes prelab videos about concepts, techniques and procedures, summary videos that relate the experiment to the AP® exam, built-in student lab safety training with assessments, and standards-based, tested inquiry labs with real sample data. FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Lab Solutions are adaptable to you and how you teach with multiple ways to access and run your AP labs.
With the FlinnPREP™ Inquiry Lab for AP® Physics 1: Mechanical Waves, students investigate the influence of frequency, amplitude, and wavelength on the speed of pulse.
The NewPath Sound Flip Chart Set is perfect for the classroom as well as group and independent learning. The set features 10 engaging, easy-to-use illustrated Write-On/Wipe-Off charts.
In the Sound Wave Interference Tube Activity Kit for physical science and physics, demonstrate the apparent discrepant effects of sound interference. This is an easy-to-assemble apparatus.
Sonic Flame Tube Demonstration Kit for physical science and physics will ignite interest in sound waves. This demonstration allows visualization of waves and resonance.
