Doppler Effect Activity

http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=18
This shockwave activity shows the way that waves originate from a single moving source, and provides a link to the same activity using two sources.
Doppler Effect Demonstration

http://www.sciencejoywagon.com/physicszone/
A Java applet showing the how wave fronts cause the effect.
Doppler Radar is a Key Forecasting Tool

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/weather/wdoppler.htm
Find out how the Doppler effect is used to read the weather, and how it can be used in short term weather prediction.
How Wave Pools Work

http://science.howstuffworks.com/engineering/structural/wave-pool.htm
Explains a variety of concepts related to making waves in water.
Longitudinal Wave Activity

http://www.explorelearning.com/index.cfm?method=cResource.dspDetail&ResourceID=32
See how the particles move, and the graphs for acceleration, velocity and displacement when the sound frequency is changed in this activity.
Radio Transmission

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aso/tryit/radio/#
Learn about the different stages of radio transmission, how radio waves are emitted, and the difference between AM and FM radio.
Wave Parts
