Success criteria.

I can write a sentence to describe


volume and pitch.
I can plan an experiment about volume
choosing the independent, controlled and
dependent variables.
I can record my data in a chart and then
plot my results on a bar chart.
How Sound is Made
• When you pluck the strings of a guitar,
the strings vibrate which creates sound.
We can see the strings vibrating.
How Sound is Made
• Like light, sound travels through the air in
waves.
• Sound is made by air molecules vibrating.
• When you clap your hands, the air around your
hands shakes. This is the air molecules
vibrating.
How Sound is Made

The vibration of the air molecules around


the hands shake the molecules next to them
and so on, until the air molecules in the ear
are vibrating.

Have you ever felt a speaker when the sound is on?


It vibrates.
How Sound is Made
When air molecules inside the
ear vibrate, they shake tiny
hairs on the insides of the ears.
The hairs are connected to
Molecules Vibrating nerves under the skin.

These nerves send messages to


your brain to tell you that you
heard a noise.
Communicating with the
brain
How Sound is Made
Why do you think sound travels faster through solids and liquids than
gases?

Solid Liquid

Hint: think about how close the molecules are to each other.
Workbook: P 20 Challenge
Volume.
The volume of a sound is how loud
or quiet a sound is.

We measure volume in dB.


(Decibels)

Sounds louder than 85 dB can


damage our ears.
In your groups
look at the
sounds of these
different things.

Which ones are


dangerous for
our ears?

How could we
protect our
ears?
Pitch.

Pitch describes how high or low a


sound is.

A whistle has a high pitch.


Thunder has a low pitch.

Slow vibrations make a low pitch.


Fast vibrations make a high pitch.
Pitch.

Some animals make sounds that


have such a high or low pitch that
humans cannot hear them.

Can you think of any examples?


Volume experiment.
We are going to plan an experiment on
Volume.

Let’s look at the experiment sheet.

Think about what the variables will be.

How can we make sure our data is


reliable?
