Students will learn how sound travels. Students will experiment with a ruler being bent on a desk to see if they can see the vibrations and hear the sound. Students will be partnered up to experiment with a hanger and cups.

In this lesson, students use their knowledge of sound energy to create a soundproof box to protect a secret code word! Students measure and graph decibels to determine how well their boxes omit sounds!

In this lesson, students will use varying sizes of rubber bands and cups to investigate sound.

In this lab activity, students investigate sound that is made from vibrations using a sound maker. The students will test sound makers to see if their sounds cause vibrations.

In this lesson, students investigate how force produces vibrations and how different kinds of vibrations produce a variety of sounds by designing and creating a drum.

In this lesson, students investigate sound energy and learn about the relationship between audability and frequency. Students will design and create a guitar from simple materials.

Students will explore the relationship of vibration and sound in this lesson by making sound wave vibrations on various instruments and classroom materials. Students will then work in groups or in a whole class setting to classify the sounds made using a reproducible chart included in the lesson. A class discussion of the concepts of actions causing vibration and vibration causing sound completes the lesson.

This is an activity about how giant dish antennas work. Learners create a "sound cone" and use it to understand how the Deep Space Network antennas pick up radio communications from space.

In this lesson, students learn that sound is a form of energy and will understand and explore how different sounds may be made by making a variety of materials vibrate.

Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer, from NGSS 1PS 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4.

Driving Question: How can I, as a 1st grade engineer, design a device to let people know I am safe, using light and sound?

This four-part lesson allows students to explore the question of how sounds are made. Using wooden rulers, tongue depressors and tuning forks, students will explore and experience sound. Students will use what they have learned to create instruments. Throughout the unit students will use technology to record their thoughts and observations. Students create a multimedia power point and/or newsletter to present what they have learned through the lesson activities.

In this activity, students use a simple sound oscilloscope (made by teacher) to visualize sounds as vibrations/waves.

In this lesson, students demonstrate their understanding of how vibration is used to make sounds by creating their own instrument. Students work in cooperative groups to play a common song for bthe class using jars, bottles, water pitchers and spoons. Students then try to identify each other's songs.
