Looking to strengthen your students’ understanding of mechanical waves and sound? Join Vernier co-founder and former physics educator Dave Vernier and physics expert Josh Ence as they guide you through three engaging wave experiments: standing waves on a string, sound wave interference and beats, and visualization of the Doppler effect. Through hands-on demonstrations, they’ll show you how to help students move from basic observations to a more complex understanding of wave phenomena.

You will

Discover methods for helping students investigate frequency, period, and amplitude using the Go Direct® Sound Sensor and Vernier Graphical Analysis® Pro

Master techniques for teaching the Doppler effect with Vernier Video Analysis®, helping students connect math with real-world frequency shifts

Get practical tips for equipment set up, data collection, and analysis to ensure consistent results across class periods

Learn strategies for teaching wave behavior and harmonics with a standing wave experiment using a string and speaker

Attendees who join us live will be entered to win a Go Direct Sound Sensor.
