After Class Work:

Period & Frequency

Albert Fong 11-4 Waves, Properties

Before Class Preparation:

  • BYOD laptop or Chromebook
  • Make sure at least one person in your group has a metronome app
  • Print (or BYOD) & Read this worksheet

In Class Activity:

  • Metronome activity
  • Graph period (time btw beats) vs frequency (BPM) to determine the relationship
    • Time between beats (y) vs BPM (x)

After Class Work:

  • Check Google Classroom for CK12
  • A tutorial of mechanical waves here
