Science of Light & Sound
In this 60-minute interactive program, terms and ideas taught in the classroom are reinforced through real-world application by Allied Solutions Center’s audio and light engineers. The Palladium is a great venue for discussing the vocabulary and concepts of sound propagation and characteristics of light. Students and teachers are encouraged to ask questions and participate throughout the program, which is aligned to IDOE standards for 4th grade science. Content can be adapted to older students. Science of Light & Sound is free for schools to attend!
Topics covered will include:
Light
- Color Temperature
- Light Reflection and Visual Color
- Additive and Subtractive Color Mixing
Sound
- Demonstration of sound waves
- Basic properties of sound (e.g., pitch, volume, frequency)
- How musical instruments produce sound
- How the acoustics in a concert hall and how it affects the sound quality

Program Alignment to Indiana Academic Standards for 4th Grade Science
Students in 4th grade study sound and light and recognize them as forms of energy.
4-PS3-2 Energy
Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents.
4-PS3-3 Energy
Ask questions and predict outcomes about the changes in energy that occur when objects collide.
4-PS3-4 Energy
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.
4-PS4-2 Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
Develop a model to describe that light reflecting from objects and entering the eye allows objects to be seen.
Science of Light & Sound is presented in partnership with Scientech.
