Leave the abstract study of sound behind. When your students use WAVEPORT interactive software, amplitude and frequency will become more than terms. They will hear the difference.
A plug-in for DataStudio, WAVEPORT engages your students by allowing them to hear, see and manipulate sound waves.
· Change the shape of the waveform and immediately hear the results -- the relationship is clear
· Play a musical instrument or favorite CD and see the sound waves analyzed right on your computer screen
· Use the software to drive the computer's sound card to generate a range of tones
Your students will build a solid understanding of soundwaves, including:
· Wavelength
· Amplitude
· Crest, trough and baselines
· Frequency
· Constructive Interference
· Destructive Interference
· And more
WAVEPORT uses the microphone and sound capabilities on your compuer. No additional equipment is required--but your options are almost unlimited. With musical instruments, iPods, even make your own instruments. Explore sound and see the results
