To grasp intangible phenomena such as light and sound waves, students need visual connections. The Wondering about Waves Bundle makes these intangible concepts more understandable. Using WAVEPORT, students will directly manipulate sound waves. The light box will reveal the colors of the visible spectrum and provide an understanding of the behavior of light rays. The Wondering about Waves Bundle includes the PASPORT equipment needed to study light and sound. Buy one bundle per computer station (recommend 3-4 students per station).
Bundle Includes: WAVEPORT Software, the basis for sound investigations. WAVEPORT Software provides a "what you see, is what you hear" tool for sound. Students will develop a visual and aural understanding of sound waveforms.WAVEPORT's intuitive appearance makes it easy for students to manipulate and hear a waveform and understand
