My rating of this resource: ****
My experience using this resource: Sound
Topic I was teaching: Supersonic flight and Sonic Booms
My learning goal for which this resource was used: to demonstrate the existence of the cone shaped shock wave called a Sonic Boom
Course Level: Honors or Advanced, Intro or Regular
How I/my students used the resource: Watched a video of a plane breaking the sound barrier and then discussed why the cone shaped cloud formed
Value Added: Provides visualization or animation, Provides a virtual lab, Provides additional content, Increases student engagement and motivation
Strengths: The videos and pictures are great. The website is usually accessible. The students are always amazed when they see the shock wave cone. Great tool to start a discussion.
Weaknesses: The website contains a lot of information and links that confuse you.
