Light travels in waves and carries information as it moves from one object to another. In this clip, people are used to represent the Sun, planets and light rays in order to show that light takes time to travel through space bringing information from those objects to us on Earth. Discover that by the time we receive this ...
In the past, astronomers explored the universe with their eyes and optical telescopes, but what they could see was limited. Find out how radio telescopes have revolutionised the way astronomers 'see' the universe, allowing us to explore deeper into space than ever before.Watch this clip to learn about Australia's contribution ...
View how scientists use underwater sound waves to measure ocean temperature changes in the Indian Ocean. The animations show how the technology called acoustic thermometry works. Australian scientists are working with a global network of 'listening posts' to monitor the long-term effects of climate change on ocean temperatures.
Do you know how radios transmit sound, or how ultraviolet light travels through the air? Listen to Bernie Hobbs explain electromagnetic radiation and discover what radios, ultraviolet light, x-rays and nuclear blasts have in common. Find out about their energy levels, how they travel from place to place, and at what speed, ...
This activity invites students to make a membranophone, an instrument that produces sound from a vibrating stretched membrane. The activity includes a list of tools and materials required, assembly instructions, what to do and notice, an explanation for the underlying science of what students observe and suggestions for ...
This activity invites students to make a model organ pipe and explore how to amplify a tuning fork by holding it over the pipe and changing the length of the pipe. They investigate how at certain pipe lengths, the pitch made by the tuning fork sounds very loud as it resonates with the air column in the pipe. The activity ...
This interactive simulation explores sound waves. In a series of simulations students explore the relationships between the energy of sound waves, the distance from the source to the listener and the perceived volume of sound, the effect of multiple sources of sound waves and reflections from surfaces. The resource does ...
This set of learning activities challenges students to build a portable amplifier that passively amplifies the sound produced by a smartphone. The module includes a comprehensive teacher guide, curriculum links, materials lists, design process guides and printable student resource sheets. The resource also provides an editable ...
This interactive simulation explores waves, using simulated water waves, sound and light. In a series of simulations students make waves with water, sound, and light and see how they are related; explain how changing the frequency and amplitude affects the characteristics of the wave and design an experiment to measure ...
