The Gravity Jet Suit creates a lot of noise.  This resource explains how sound waves travel and are detected by the human ear.

This resource provides a lesson plan showing how to use musical instruments to teach about sound waves. The approach used in the lesson is based on education research which is summarised in a separate research summary document.

The lesson outlines a set of activities that can be used to demonstrate that...

In this video an oscilloscope simulator on a laptop is demonstrated to visualise a sound wave and calculate its frequency. 

The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Sounds was first published in 1984 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about sounds heard in everyday life, how they are created, and how they vary. It describes sound as vibrations...

'Our modern society has more ways of making sounds than ever before. How can we control sound to get good quality when we want it and cut out the sounds we don't want to hear?'

These practicals and videos use a workplace context to develop students' understanding of the properties of sound, and how science...

Five activity sheets produced by Institute of Physics (IOP) to accompany the MODEL Project's Sounds Good video.

Worksheet one takes an overview of the topic. Worksheets two - five are targeted at specific sections of the video.

Answers to all the worksheet questions are provided in the Word document...

Four groups of practicals, produced by Institute of Physics (IOP), which help students to understand the properties of sound.

These videos are excerpts from the We Are Aliens! planetarium show. They provide good starter activities for looking at life within our universe. They explore life within our solar system and the Earth and other planets that may contain life. The exoplanets videos go on to look at the possibilities of life outside...

The UK plays a very active role in space research and industry. This collection contains profiles of scientists and engineers, working in space industry or academia, and includes some of their outreach work with schools and colleges in the UK.

This series of activities from NASA are based on a weekly series of space science problems distributed to teachers in the US, from 2004 to 2010. They were intended for students looking for additional challenges in the mathematics and physical science curriculum, from ages 9 to 19 years.

The problems were...
