Resonance Box - with Tunning Fork - C512

This resonance box paired with a tuning fork (C512) is a high-quality acoustic instrument designed to visually and audibly demonstrate the physics of sound waves and resonance. When struck, the tuning fork vibrates at a specific frequency (512 Hz), and the attached resonance box amplifies these vibrations, producing a clear tone. This combination is widely used in science classrooms to illustrate concepts such as frequency, resonance, wave propagation, and the relationship between vibration and sound.

Educational Benefits

• Demonstrates key physics concepts including frequency, resonance, and amplification.
• Helps students visualise abstract wave phenomena through hands-on experimentation.
• Reinforces the principles of vibration, sound energy, and acoustic properties.
• Encourages critical thinking and observation skills in practical settings.
• Supports auditory and kinesthetic learning modalities.

Classroom Ideas

• Compare different tuning forks to explore frequency and pitch.
• Use in experiments on sound propagation in different materials (e.g. air vs solids).
• Demonstrate resonance by placing the fork near other objects or using it with water surfaces.
• Integrate with digital frequency apps for sound analysis projects.
• Use in cross-curricular lessons with music to explore waveforms.
