Whale Sounds

Lesson 8.1 - Sound Waves
Sound is a form of energy associated with vibrations. It travels in waves and can only travel through matter - solid, liquid, or gas. Sound waves travel in a given direction until they are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted to another medium. Through several interactive activities, identify the parts of a sound wave, learn how sound is generated and how an echo works.

Essential Questions:
  • How is sound created?
  • What types of media can sound travel through?
  • How do echoes work?
