Physics of Sound: Wind Chimes
Wind chimes are an excellent way to teach students about the physics of sound propagation and the behavior of sound waves. In this project, students are told that their team has been hired to create a wind chime to specifications. This project illustrates mastering wave length, resonance, frequency, and other concepts. Plus the students will have created a wind chime by the time they’ve finished.

Engineering Design: The Physics of Wind ChimesThe TTU T-STEM Center offers a professional development workshop that integrates the physics of sound with the engineering design process. This approach allows teachers to learn the engineering design process by solving a hands-on engineering challenge to design and build an unique wind chime. Physics content involving wave forms and sound transmission will be demonstrated and applied to the wind chime design. |
