WAVEPORT was honored by District Administration magazine as a Top 100 education product.

Leave the abstract study of sound behind. When your students use WAVEPORT interactive software, amplitude and frequency will become more than terms. They will hear the difference.

WAVEPORT engages your students by allowing them to hear, see and manipulate sound waves.

  • Change the shape of the waveform and immediately hear the results -- the relationship is clear
  • Play a musical instrument or favorite CD and see the sound waves analyzed right on your computer screen
  • Use the software to drive the computer's sound card to generate a range of tones

Your students will build a solid understanding of soundwaves, including:

  • Wavelength
  • Amplitude
  • Crest, trough and baselines
  • Frequency
  • Constructive Interference
  • Destructive Interference
  • And more
