Designing Project-Enhanced Environments

The Science Teacher -- December 2005

The concept of waves is fundamental due to its occurrence throughout the natural world (water, sound, and electromagnetic waves). Because the concept occurs in so many places, high school students come to the classroom with prior knowledge and misconceptions about waves. This project-enhanced unit on sound waves incorporates technology and inquiry-based learning to address student misconceptions, foster content learning by all students, and gives students the freedom to choose a question to study in depth.
