Description
This tool, reviewed by Science NetLinks, is a simulation that explores ultrasound imaging as a technique used to see inside an object (such as the human body). It consists of three modules. In the first, students are introduced to the technology behind the ultrasound. The second module shows how waves get reflected as they travel through objects. The final module shows how the measurement of the reflected waves can be used to produce an image of what is taking place inside a body. While this page links to the overview for the Ultrasound: How Does it Work? tool for grades 9-12, you'll find additional links and benchmarks for grades K-12 by using the navigation tools at the top of the page.
