Sound Waves & Echoes
How sound is made, how it travels, and why it comes back to you.
What this lesson covers
Sound Waves & Echoes is a 10-part Class 7 Science lesson. Each part makes one point and then hands over to the next, so it can be read in a sitting or picked up again at the part you stopped on. It defines the idea in plain words before using it, works through an example step by step, breaks the topic into its parts and compares them, shows where it is used outside the textbook, names the mistakes that cost marks in an exam, ends with a recap of what to remember.
How it begins
Every sound starts with something vibrating, a guitar string, a drum skin, your vocal cords, a loudspeaker cone. The vibration pushes the particles of the material around it, and that push travels outwards as a sound wave.
