Sound Waves: Vernier Supplement to OpenSciEd Unit 8.2

$0.00

Students engage in model-based reasoning, argumentation, and computational and mathematical reasoning to develop models to explain what makes a sound, how sound moves through air, and how it makes something move.

The Vernier Supplement to Unit 8.2 is a complement to the OpenSciEd curriculum and includes data-collection technology enhanced lessons to supplement the existing curriculum.
