vibration

It?s often said that music can soothe the soul. Budding young scientists may wonder how the sounds that make up their favorite music work. This exciting title has the answers! It not only explains key ideas involving sound waves including wavelength and frequency, but it also features activities that allow students to experience what they are learning! First students are instructed to think like scientists using the scientific method. Then they must gather the materials needed for each experiment, which mainly consist of household items such as a pencil and pen, a rubber band, a bucket, and a ruler. Helpful illustrations and age-appropriate instructions then guide readers through each step in the experiment and in learning important STEM concepts. A further information section and a glossary also make this title a valuable addition to any aspiring scientist's curriculum!.

Birds chirp. A dog barks. Thunder claps. We hear sounds all around us. But how? Sound waves travel through the air, but we don't see them. Readers will learn about sound waves and how we use them every day.

In this book, students see the scientific method at work in a real-world situation. Readers practice close reading as they look for clues that will lead to a deeper understanding of sound and engineering.

Introduces electromagnetic and mechanical waves, discussing the properties of waves, the electromagnetic spectrum, and vibrations.

Follows the adventures of Max Axiom as he explains the science behind sound. Written in Spanish and in graphic novel-format.

Readers will learn how the physical movement of objects creates sound, as well as the qualities of sound and how they vary, and are received.

Uses simple text and photographs to discuss sensing light and sound.

Uses simple text to discuss how vibrations make sound.

Sound produces some of the greatest joys in our lives. From the music we love to the mere sound of laughter, the vibrations our ears pick up play a major role in our life experience. This book shows readers just what sound is, how it travels, and how our ears understand the sounds that surround us all. Innovative flowcharts throughout the book give readers a fun alternative to plain text, showing the science of sound with vibrant colors and interesting fact boxes.
