Science
Organizing Idea:
Energy - Understandings of the physical world are deepened by investigating matter and energy
Energy - Understandings of the physical world are deepened by investigating matter and energy
Learning Intention:
- students investigate the behaviours of light and sound
- students investigate the behaviours of light and sound
I Can:
-identify sources of sound
-understand that sound is made by vibrations of objects
We are scientists in grade 2! We learned that sound is created when something vibrates and sends waves of energy into our ears. On Monday, we will go to the National Music Centre to explore more about sound.
As part of our learning, we did a Salty Sound experiment and, like all good scientists, we made predictions and recorded our observations. We used sound waves from tuning forks to move salt! Ask your child about sound waves and vibrations.
Sound: sound is produced by vibrations of objects. We sense sound with our ears
Vibration: a rapid back-and-forth movement
Volume: how loud or soft a sound is
Tuning fork: a metal instrument that gives a tone when struck
