K-8 Workshop: "Waves and Sound" sponsored by the Acoustical Society of America
This workshop, sponsored by the Acoustical Society of America, will expose educators of K-8 students to a variety of ideas and labs to teach children the science of waves and sound.
From human waves to hand-made instruments, this full-day event will include resources and skills to introduce sound and waves in a relevant and interactive hands-on experience for students in younger elementary grades through upper middle grades.
All participants will receive an Exploring Sound kit (a $50+ value).
Lunch is included.
Optional: Bring an idea about teaching waves and sound to share with your colleagues during lunch (if you have one!)
Workshop activities will include:
- Modeling waves with your body
- Crafting a mosquito buzzer to learn about frequency and pitch
- Building a string resonator from a small motor to see standing waves
- Constructing palm pipes, panpipes, and a cuica to hear resonance
- Using digital sound meters to visualize and measure noise
- ...and more!
