Waves Activities : Page 2

Demonstrate how we are able to locate sounds, echolocation. Have a blindfolded subject locate you by the sound of your clapping.

Find a mathematical relationship between the intensity of a sound wave and distance from the sound source. Use a pedometer and a sound level meter.

Look for a correlation between temperature and the intensity of cricket chirping. Measure ambient temperature and sound intensity in decibels.

In this project students determine which instruments composers use to create birdsongs and birdcalls in classical music.

Observe how your brain works while it is focused on one thing, and how it works while you are distracted by another thing.

Determine the relationship between the speed of a sound and the temperature of the air it passes through.

What is the Doppler Effect, or the Doppler Shift? The purpose of this science fair project is to determine how distance impacts the Doppler Effect.

Using an empty tennis ball can and a swimming pool, you will determine if it's possible to have a conversation under water.

In this science fair experiment, students learn about the scientific principles behind Doppler ultrasound.

This experiment will explore how mallets of various materials and weight create sonic tones of varying lengths.

This experiment investigates whether there are certain sounds that affect men and women differently

This science project examines the history of earthquakes and what we can do to prevent future disasters.

The goal of this science fair project is to evaluate the effect of heat on sound wave frequency.

This project determines what percentage of test subjects react adversely to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and explores their physiological responses.

Design a hearing protection device to protect their ears from loud noises. Examine the properties of current protective hearing devices, materials.

Find out the differences (if any) in the frequencies of voices produced from a computer, from a phone, and directly coming out of the voice box of a human.

Get a cool and easy science fair project idea which helps high school students in understanding concepts behind the working of a microphone.
