  1. SOUND ENERGY!

  2. 4th Grade Class

  3. Holistic Question:Task 5- Unknown Object

  4. Lesson 1 Activities: • Solid & Liquid: • Students drop a marble into a container filled with other marbles, and into a container filled with H2O. • Students gage the loudness factor on an experiment document.

  5. Sound and Mediums Experiment YOUR PREDICTION: (Which will be best, solid, liquid, or gas?) Gas will be the best medium. Loudness test: Drop a marble in the containers and circle a number indicating the loudness. Solid - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Liquid- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Gas- Test how well air carries sound What did you hear? What did they say? 1) hmm my aim is eel hello my name is Sheila. 2) how are you how are you 3) dude you ear me did you hear me How good was gas? 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 YOUR VERDICT:Circle the winning mediumfor carrying sound? SOLIDLIQUIDGAS Why do you think it was the best? Maybe solid won because solid is hard. Sound needs to hit a hard medium so it can be heard, not a soft medium like water or gas.

  6. Gas: • Students construct a telephone from paper cups and string. • Students gage accuracy of communication. • All three mediums are compared for loudness.

  7. Lesson 2 Activities • SPREADSHEET • Students create a spreadsheet on Microsoft Word. • Data from previous day’s experiments. • LINE GRAPH • Data is converted into a graph. • Title, matching values, accuracy. • Printed out.

  12. http://www.ptg.org/learningCenter/Piano_Science.pdf What is sound? Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When any object vibrates, it causes movement in the air particles. These particles bump into other particles nearby and they vibrate, too. This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until the particles run out of energy. If your ear is within range of the vibrations, you hear the sound.

I went to http://animal.discovery.com/videos/fooled-by-nature-whale-of-a-tail.html and found out that the loudest animal sound on the planet comes from the Blue whale; it can be heard for 500 miles and sounds as loud as 200 decibels- which is the sound of a jumbo plane!
