Students will encounter puzzling light and sound phenomena in a ‘Pitch Perfect Light’ gallery, generate and refine investigable questions about wave properties, and produce a focused research question with a clear hypothesis that will guide their investigation and digital documentary.

Students will design a systematic, peer-reviewed methodology to investigate how specific wave properties (amplitude, frequency, wavelength) relate to energy, color, pitch, and wave interactions with materials before collecting any data.

Students will systematically gather and document high-quality wave data using their approved investigation plans, carefully recording conditions, measurements, and anomalies to build a reliable evidence base for later analysis of amplitude–energy and frequency–pitch/color relationships.

Students will interpret and visualize their wave investigation data, identify patterns and anomalies, and connect their findings to their original research question and hypothesis in preparation for drawing evidence-based conclusions for their digital documentary.

Students will synthesize their wave investigation findings into evidence-based conclusions, explicitly acknowledge limitations, generate new investigable questions, and present their digital documentaries and models to an authentic audience at the Wave Wonders showcase.
