Science

Warm Up..

• Bring your notebook, pencil, agenda to your desk

• Complete Tuesday’s warm up now – do not work ahead

• YOU ARE QUIET, WORKING WHEN THE BELL RINGS

Today’s Agenda…

• Track our test on Visible Light 6.P.1.2• We will review the standard and read aloud

the unpacked standard, writing down any words we do not know

• Vocabulary Foldable for Sound in notebook

Tracking our Test• You will receive your tracking sheet now• Next you will receive your pre test results• Please record your score in the box

6.P.1.2 pre test• Next you will receive your post results • Please record your score in the box

6.P.1.2 post test• Did you achieve mastery – write yes or no • Now pass everything back in to me

New Unit on Sound• Open up your notebooks to the next blank

page• Label the page 6.P.1.3 Sound• Also add this entry into your table of contents

6.P.1.3 Vibrations, Sound and Hearing

• In this unit our objective is to:• Explain the relationship among the rate of

vibration, the medium through which vibrations travel, sound and hearing

• Where is this objective in our room?• Let’s read our unpacked standard now

“Popcorn Style”

Our Vocabulary Activity…

• You will now have 3 minutes to write down all the words from our unpacked standard that you do not know or understand on the page titled 6.P.1.3 Sound

• GO!• Now take your list around and share with at

least 5 of your classmates!• GO!

Unit Vocabulary • Sound Energy • Amplitude• Frequency • Decibel• Pitch • Volume • Parts of the Ear (Outer ear,• Ear canal, Middle ear, Eardrum• Hammer, Anvil, Stirrup, Cochlea, Auditory nerve) • Larynx (Voice box), Trachea, windpipe

Vocabulary Foldable

• Today we will be focusing on the first 6 words• You will be creating a vocabulary foldable in

your notebooks today• Follow along as I show you my example• You will be using chromebooks today to copy

down the definitions

Vocabulary – Sound Energy• caused by vibrations (movement up or

down or back and forth)

Vocabulary – Sound Waves• Sound travels in Longitudinal waves (also

known as compressional waves)

Vocabulary - Amplitude

The loudness or softness of a sound ( the intensity of sound)• Large amplitude creates loud sounds • Small amplitude creates soft sounds

Comparing Amplitude and Sound

Which wave is louder, why?

Who has been to a concert?

• What does an amplifier do to the music at a concert?

• When it is combined with a loudspeaker it can amplify electric guitars and other musical instruments.

• Makes the concert more intense!

Vocabulary - Frequency

• The number of sound waves that pass a point in 1 second• Humans hear frequencies ranging

20 – 20,000 hertz

Frequency

• Dogs hear frequencies up to 45,000 hertz• (That is why we cannot hear a dog whistle)

Table of Sound Frequencies

Vocabulary - Decibels

The measurement of sound• Sounds over 120 decibels = dangerous• Long exposure to loud sounds will cause

permanent hearing damage that cannot be repaired

Common Sounds in Decibels

Vocabulary - Pitch

• The highness or lowness of a sound • Determined by frequency (how fast

something vibrates)• Low frequency = low pitch (tubas)• High frequency = high pitch (flutes)

Pitch and Sound – • If an object vibrates quickly = it will produce a

high-pitched sound ( has high-frequencies and short wavelengths)

• Flutes have a high pitch (due to high frequency)

Pitch and Sound –

• If an object vibrates slowly = it will produce a low-pitched sound ( has low frequencies and long wavelengths)

• Tubas have a low pitch (due to low frequency)

Do we remember this?

• Sound can only move through a medium• Sound cannot travel in outer space

(vacuum)

• Solid liquid gasfastest in solids slowest in gases

Examples: Sound in different mediums

Medium Speed

Air 740 miles per hour

Water 3,324 miles per hour

Steel 7,435 miles per hour

Let’s think about this….

• Question – How is sound created?

• Question – Why are sounds different?

• Question – How do we hear sounds?

Study Jams…Sound

• In a moment you will watch a video on sound. Before, write these questions in your notebook leaving 2 lines between each question

1. What causes sound?2. How does sound travel?3. What is the frequency of sound?4. What is a sound’s pitch?5. What is a sound’s volume and how is it measured?

Study Jams…Sound

Remember you are listening to the video to find out the answers to your questions…• http

Sound Lab – Canosa to pick up here

• You will count off from 1 – 4 to form lab groups

• You will be investigating sound today using tuning forks

• You will record all information into your interactive notebook

• We will review the lab procedure together now
