When riding in a car, you notice that the wheels

make sounds against the pavement. The pitch rises as the car speeds up. State a hypothesis based on this

observation.

The pitch of the wheels increases with speed

because the vibrations caused by the wheels get faster as the car moves

faster.

You want to experiment to test how well various

materials muffle sounds. Which variables would you keep the same and which

would you change?

Same: person listening, sound

being blocked, room where test is made.

Change: material blocking sounds.

Olivia is standing at her front door. Her friend

Gabe is five houses down the street. Olivia yells,

“Gabe!” How is the sound of Olivia’s voice transmitted to Gabe?

molecules between Olivia and Gabe.

Gabe doesn’t hear Olivia when she calls. When she calls again,

what are two things she can do to make sure that

Gabe hears her?

Move closer so that the sound doesn’t have to travel so far and yell
