Hearing Sound Telephone cups Making Waves (Compression & transverse) Making Waves (Frequency & Wavelength) Student Experience Students are provided the opportunity to hear sound from an instrument (live or a recording) to develop a model to demonstrate how they hear sound. Students create telephone cups to explore how sound is transferred via a string (medium). Students will use a slinky/phone cord to develop explores types of waves. Students will generate standing waves using a slinky/phone cord to explore the relationship between frequency and wavelength. T4T Material Teacher may use materials from T4T to create an instrument that can produce various sounds. Small Plastic cups, Lids, string Possible cord? Possible cord Big Idea Students develop a model to describe the transmission of sound from the source to the receiver. Sound can travel through a medium without the medium being transferred (net movement). Oscillation and energy transmission occurs through compression or transverse waves. Frequency and wavelength are related. Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional. As one increases the other decreases. Connection to Activity Introduction to the phenomenon of sound, driving question, and the development of their initial model. A medium is required to transfer sound. Solids, liquids and gasses act as mediums that transfer sound without a net movement in the medium. Sound waves are transmitted through compression waves. Waves differ in their wavelength and frequency. Sound can have various wavelengths and frequencies. Next Generation Science Standards Developing and using models.
