Sound Simulation Homework

Title	Sound Simulation Homework
Description	This homework covers the topic of sound and uses the simulation to assist understanding of key concepts. The homework consists of two multiple part problems facilitated with the sound applet. This activity was developed in 2003 before most of our research with PhET interviews and before we developed the Inquiry Guidelines. Therefore, the lessons are more directed then we would now recommend. Also, this activity was used in a course with very large enrollment (200+), so many questions are constrained to being multiple choice or numeric for computer grading. Please email phethelp@colorado.edu if you are a teacher and would like a solution key.
