Science of Sound is for education and building an understanding of sound waves, frequencies, sound phenomena, and measuring sound. Your students will learn how to read charts and diagrams, measure, calculate, and record information, think critically, and observe and reflect. We introduce several mathematics mechanics and discuss the effects of sound waves in nature. Experiments and activities will be utilized for a deeper perspective and understanding of mechanical sound waves.
