Exercism Redesign AstroCappella - A Musical Exploration of the Universe AstroCappella — A Musical Exploration of the Universe Related Activity Editor's note: This activity is both on the Astrocappella web site and the CD-ROM featured in this article. You can read the lyrics to "Doppler Shifting" and hear it performed by the Chromatics at the same site. Here It Comes, There It Goes! An activity by Kara C. Activity Summary: Every student can demonstrate the Doppler effect! Objective: Students will perform an experiment in which they will demonstrate the Doppler effect. Materials for each group of students: 'splash out' ball** electronic noise making mechanism with pure tone (from Radio Shack, or other electronics store) 9 volt battery 9 volt battery clip jump rope masking tape Procedure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Discussion: This is a demonstration of a phenomenon called the Doppler effect. The number of waves reaching an observer in one second is called the frequency. Now imagine an everyday-life example such as observing and listening to an approaching car. 1. 2. 3.
Geeklist - A place for geeks to share what they've done, who they did it with and connect with great companies Program a Friend Activity courtesy of the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry’s Vernier Technology Lab Time: 10 – 30 minutes Grade level: 1 – 8 Summary Working in pairs, students learn basic computer programming and software engineering concepts by building an obstacle course, then steering a blindfolded friend through it by using a series of commands. Learning objectives After doing this activity, students should be able to: Recognize that computer programs boil down to a series of yes/no commands.Break a task or process into little steps.Understand that making errors and correcting them is part of the iterative design process.Improve on a product or process based on observations and field testing.
