Exploring Sound
This
project was a joint effort between the Acoustical Society of America Activity
Kit Committee, the Physics Department and the Audiology and Speech-Language Sciences
Department at the University of Northern Colorado and the American Association
of Physics Teachers Physics Teacher Resource Agents (AAPT PTRA)
These
inquiry lessons have all been tested in the classroom with students and
reviewed by experienced middle and high school teachers, middle and high school
curriculum experts and physics education researchers.
Lessons
are divided into three categories: Lower
Elementary, Physical Science and Physics.
In July 2012 we held a workshop for teachers at the American Association of Physics Teachers’ meeting in Philadelphia. .pdf, .ppt
