However with the help of technology, students can get a much more concrete understanding of these topics. In Ohio, sound is part of the science curriculum in Kindergarten, Grade 5 and Grade 7. In each case the students are supposed to explore how changes to sound waves can affect the pitch and loudness of the sound. The Ohio model curriculum encourages teachers to use virtual tools to visualize or simulate these concepts. A great tool to do this is the free Chrome Web App called TwistedWave.
