  1. SOUNDS GOOD! From musical boxes to iPods

  2. Space Walk Aug 2005 Stephen Robinson outside Discovery NASA picture

  3. Can he call to those inside the space ship as he works? NASA picture

  4. Connected to the space ship by a line Why? NASA picture

  5. Let’s play some games!

  6. Sound dance Sound moves this way • The bunches move along the line. • The children do not move along! steps

  7. Sound travels to your ear The air vibrates but does not travel from the alarm to the ear. Sound

  9. ? • Why does Mittens look unhappy?

  10. Whales sing to each other. • Sound travels through water.

  11. Bush telephone game • Sound travels through the string

  12. The electrical signal is amplified A microphone changes sound to an electrical signal. A loudspeaker changes the electrical signal to sound. Telephones -- • Are like a sound system

  13. loudspeaker microphone Telephones -- • The message travels through miles of wires as an electrical signal. electrical signal

  14. Mobile phones use radioSound - electrical signal - radio signal - electrical signal - sound In one phone the sound is changed into an electrical signal then into a radio signal. In the second phone the radio signal is changed into an electrical signal then into sound. Radio signal Mobile phone beacons Sound - electrical signal - radio signal - electrical signal - sound

  15. What is this? What sound does she make?
