Question:
Hi, My homeschooled eighth grade student is studying piezoelectricity. I am trying to help him understand it. We have a great library. I am having a hard time finding anything that is piezoelectricity. Can you suggest what area we should start the research in to gain a full understanding of this material?

Replies:
Here is a link to an MWM module. This has been classroom tested, and is good material for grades 7-9.
