Student Handout: Investigating Frequency and Pitch

Student Handout: Investigating Frequency and Pitch

Explore how frequency affects pitch by using a Signal Generator to test hearing, observe how sound waves change with different signals, and compare hearing ranges across different ages and species through hands-on activities and discussions. This handout forms part of the lesson plan on How Does the Frequency of a Signal Relate to the Pitch of Sound Produced?

Topics
