This workshop uses mathematics to visualise what a sound looks like. Students are exposed to the wonderful world of wave propagation through sound waves.
This is a major thread in the use of mathematics to study the world around us – waves are everywhere! Part of the presentation is to “look” at the differences between different sounds and how they are constructed (in terms of their mathematical description of pressure waves propagating through the medium of air).
Presented in partnership with Macquarie University, this activity is part of the Science in the City celebrations for schools at the Australian Museum. Exciting discoveries and practical science are brought to life with a unique program of hands-on activities, talks and explosive workshops, with a wide coverage of scientific fields and school curriculum links.
Suitable for Stages 4-5. For school bookings only, made in advance. Minimum 15 students. Please see the event timetable here for current availabilities.
