SOUND LESSON 3 How Does Sound Move from a Vibrating Object to Our Ears?
Our Unit Central Question Why do we hear sound?
Lets Review What Weve Learned What have we learned so far about sound? What evidence have we found?
Todays Focus Question How does sound move from a vibrating object to our ears?
Make a Prediction How do you think sound moves from a vibrating tuning fork to our ears?
Draw a Picture Draw a picture on your handout (Sound on the Move) to show how you think sound moves from a vibrating tuning fork to our ears? Courtesy of BSCS
A Slinky Model Courtesy of BSCS Scientists use models to help them understand things they can t see. Today we ll use a Slinky model to help us understand how sound moves from a soundmaker to our ears.
Turn and Talk Courtesy of BSCS Share with an elbow partner what you saw when I was moving the Slinky back and forth.
What Did You Observe? Courtesy of BSCS Where did the vibrations start? Where did the vibrations go? Where did the vibrations end up?
Key Science Idea Sound vibrations move through the air from a soundmaker to our ears.
How Does Sound Move? Share your drawing with an elbow partner. Explain how you think sound moves from the tuning fork to your ears. Courtesy of BSCS
Lets Summarize! Our focus question: How does sound move from a vibrating object to our ears? Let s create a sound story to answer this question. Use the word vibrate, vibrating, or vibrations when you share your ideas.
How Does Sound Move? How do you think sound moves from a tuning fork to our ears without a Slinky? Courtesy of BSCS
Next Time In our next lesson, we ll use a different model to help us think about how sound moves from a soundmaker to our ears.
