Sound waves in Year 9 Science
Start here
Focus on how sound waves and the ear work. Open support for “Compare the Hearing Ranges of Humans and Other Animals”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 9 learners practise how sound waves and the ear work.
The activities include Compare the Hearing Ranges of Humans and Other Animals, Explain How the Ear Works, Explain Reflection and Absorption of Sound Waves, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, worksheet, teaching, lesson. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
