$12.48 SAVE $$ off list prices! This sound waves activities bundle gives you fun ways to TEACH, EXPLORE, and ASSESS sound waves and NGSS MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS4-2!
⭐ Get these resources at a HUGE DISCOUNT in my COMPLETE WAVES UNIT! ⭐
This bundle contains:
- Sound Waves Notes: Students view a presentation (provided in PPT and Google Slides) as they fill in the blanks on a corresponding Cloze notes worksheet.
- Sound Waves Reading and Worksheet: Students read about what sound is, the properties of sound waves (wavelength, amplitude, frequency), and how sound waves interact (transmission, reflection, absorption).
- Hands-On Mini Lab Stations Activity: Students will visit 8 stations. At each station, students will conduct a mini-investigation into a topic related to sound. First, they will read a quick “background information” section. Then, students will follow simple step-by-step directions to observe wave properties. They’ll collect and analyze data from their mini experiments and answer follow-up analysis questions.
- Sound Waves Quiz: This 10-question multiple choice quiz is meant to assess NGSS MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS4-2. It’s easy to correct and comes with two versions.
These sound waves activities cover NGSS MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS4-2, including:
- Sound waves are vibrations that travel through matter
- Mediums that sound waves may pass through (solids, liquids, and gases)
- Sound waves travel fastest in solids and slowest in gases
- Properties of sound waves (amplitude, frequency, wavelength)
- A sound’s loudness is associated with the amplitude of its wave
- A sound’s pitch is associated with the frequency of its wave
- The three main ways that sound waves interact (absorption, reflection, transmission)
Teacher Notes:
- The quiz and notes ARE editable. The reading and lab stations are NOT editable.
- Answer keys are always included.
- You can also shop my TPT store!
- Get every lesson you need to teach waves in my COMPLETE WAVES UNIT!
Related Standards:
- NGSS MS-PS4-1: Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave.
- NGSS MS-PS4-2: Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials.
