====== UNDERSTANDING SOUND (A FLIPPED CLASSROOM ACTIVITY): ======
FIXME - Needs update

Information in this section is presented in a different way (compare with sections on Electricity, Light and so on...)

The content is designed to support **{{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_classroom|FLIPPED CLASSROOM}}** teaching; a form of blended learning in which students learn content on-line by watching video lectures, usually at home. What used to be called 'homework' is now done in class with teachers and students collaborating, discussing and solving questions.

In a 'flipped' project, teacher interaction with students is more personalised. The emphasis is on guidance and mutual discovery rather than lecturing.

More detailed information information (including explicit explanation, answer keys and conventional resources are available for teachers in the **[[:learn:sound:home|LEARN]]** section of this WIKI.

The starting point for this particular 'flipped' activity is an on-line science QUIZ:

<WRAP important round center 87%>
IMPORTANT: STUDENTS & TEACHERS SHOULD COMPLETE **[[https://goo.gl/tPbf1R|THE SOUND QUIZ]]** BEFORE READING THIS WIKI (THIS PAGE!)
</WRAP>

=== Links To Answers & Supplementary Learning Materials: ===
  * When the QUIZ has been completed, students are sent results by email.
  * In the email, there is a link for more information, activities and experiments to help the student understand more about each question and the answer.
  * Students are encouraged to investigate, ask questions and design their own experiments.
  * Each QUIZ question/answer section has links to student resources, which are mostly limited to a simple presentation style, whilst attempting to remain remaining scientifically correct.
  * The [[http://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/sound|Physics Classroom]] provides an excellent 'one-stop-shop' for more detailed information about the physics of sound.
