Activity Overview
In this activity students build an electronic circuit that produces sound and then modify the circuit to change the sound frequency. The parts include an integrated circuit, resistors, capacitors, and a battery. Students discover that by changing the values of the resistors and capacitors, they change the pitch of the sound the circuit produces. They also feel the vibrations in the speaker and read about how vibrations produce sound. |
