One of the themes in these lessons was the idea of a sound wave as a wiggle, a concept meant to encourage creative and playful engagement with science. We wanted students to learn about these sound wave wiggles by creating chains of sound with cards, by acting like air molecules in sound waves, by viewing sound waves on oscilloscopes, and of course by playing the theremin."
