Get a sound waves NOTES presentation plus a corresponding 10-question sound waves QUIZ designed to teach and assess a basic understanding of the sound waves portion of NGSS standards MS-PS4-1 and MS-PS4-2.

⭐ Get these resources at a discount in my SOUND ACTIVITIES BUNDLE! ⭐

• Presentation (both PPT and Google Slides versions provided)
• Corresponding Cloze notes worksheet (Word Doc format provided)
• Corresponding quiz (Word Doc format)

These NOTES and QUIZ cover:

• 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
• 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:

• Two versions of the quiz are provided. They differ slightly, but the actual questions are the same. The quizzes have the same questions, but the answer options are different so wandering eyes can’t copy from a neighbor.
• The included quiz, presentation, and Cloze notes worksheet are fully editable.
• You can also shop our TPT store!
• Answer keys are included.
• 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.
