Sound produced by 1. What is Ask the students to take a rubber band. Put it around the longer  Evaluation:
a vibrating body Sound side of a pencil box. Insert two pencils between the box and the 1. Ask the students to make a
stretched rubber. Now pluck the rubber band some where in the list of musical instruments and

produced .To and fro or back and forth motion of an object is called
. virations.
Discuss a lot of activities in a daily life
Striking a dish filled with water with a spoon produces
vibrations and can see as waves on the water.

 Muscles attached to the cords make the cords tight or loose cords produces sound.

3 Lab activity Sound needs a Aim: Result:

medium To prove that sound cannot travel through vacuum and it needs a This experiment proves that
medium for propagation. sound cannot travel in vacuum
Materials required: and it cannot travel in vacuum
Bell jar, mobile, phone, and vacuum pump.. and it needs a medium
Procedure:
 Take a bell jar and a mobile phone.
 Switch on the music in the mobile phone and place it in the jar.
 Now pump out the air from the bell jar using a vacuum pump.
 As more and more air is removed from the jar the sound from
the mobile phone becomes feeble and finally very faint.
Observation: This experiment proves that sound cannot travel in
vacuum and it cannot travel in vacuum and it needs a medium

 Pitch of the sound is determined by?
 Sound waves are?
 Velocity of sound in air is?

Day 1what is sound? :explain how sound propagates? Day 2 : explain how sound is produced in humans?
