de Winter, James (2019). Physics and Birdsong: “Listening” with Graphs. The Physics Teacher, 57(6): 364 - 367.
It is common for high school physics teachers to comment on the challenges they face in supporting students’ graph drawing skills, knowing their importance for the study of physics. This paper suggests a novel and alternative way to support students to develop their graph drawing skills as well as teach them about sound, frequency, and amplitude. Rather than equipment-heavy demonstrations using a microphone, loudspeaker, oscilloscope, and signal generator, I suggest approaching the topic through birdsong and spectrograms.
