Overview:

Sound is energy that travels as a result of vibration. It can be characterized by frequency, loudness, and pitch, and it is measured in decibels.

The classroom resource provides a video that will explain sound energy, how it moves, and how it is measured. This resource can provide background information for students before they create their own models and conduct their own experiments. There is also a short test that can be used to assess students' understanding.

Content Standard(s):

Science SC2015 (2015) Grade: 1	1 ) Conduct experiments to provide evidence that vibrations of matter can create sound (e.g., striking a tuning fork, plucking a guitar string) and sound can make matter vibrate (e.g., holding a piece of paper near a sound system speaker, touching your throat while speaking). NAEP Framework NAEP Statement:: P4.10: Vibrating objects produce sound. The pitch of sound can be varied by changing the rate of vibration. Unpacked Content Scientific And Engineering Practices: Planning and Carrying out Investigations Crosscutting Concepts: Cause and Effect Disciplinary Core Idea: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students: Conduct experiments to provide evidence that vibrations of matter can create sound.

Science SC2015 (2015) Grade: 4	2 ) Plan and carry out investigations that explain transference of energy from place to place by sound, light, heat, and electric currents. a. Provide evidence that heat can be produced in many ways (e.g., rubbing hands together, burning leaves) and can move from one object to another by conduction. b. Demonstrate that different objects can absorb, reflect, and/or conduct energy. c. Demonstrate that electric circuits require a complete loop through which an electric current can pass. NAEP Framework NAEP Statement:: P4.11: Electricity flowing through an electrical circuit produces magnetic effects in the wires. In an electrical circuit containing a battery, a bulb, and a bell, energy from the battery is transferred to the bulb and the bell, which in turn transfer the energy to their surroundings as light, sound, and heat (thermal energy). NAEP Statement:: P4.2: Objects vary in the extent to which they absorb and reflect light and conduct heat (thermal energy) and electricity. NAEP Statement:: P4.7: Heat (thermal energy), electricity, light, and sound are forms of energy.^§ NAEP Statement:: P4.8: Heat (thermal energy) results when substances burn, when certain kinds of materials rub against each other, and when electricity flows though wires. Metals are good conductors of heat (thermal energy) and electricity. Increasing the temperature of any substance requires the addition of energy. Unpacked Content Scientific And Engineering Practices: Planning and Carrying out Investigations; Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions; Developing and Using Models Crosscutting Concepts: Energy and Matter Disciplinary Core Idea: Energy Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students: Plan and carry out investigations that explain transference of energy from place to place by sound.

Teacher Vocabulary: Construct Transfer Energy Potential energy Kinetic energy Friction Conduction Absorb Reflect Circuit Open circuit Close circuit Heat Radiation Convection Collision Motion Electrical energy Stored energy Knowledge: Students know: Energy is present whenever there are moving objects, sound, light, or heat. The transfer of energy, including the following: Collisions between objects. Light traveling from one place to another. Electric currents producing motion, sound, heat, or light. Sound traveling from one place to another. Heat passing from one object to another. Motion, sound, heat, and light causing a different type of energy to be observed after an interaction. Heat is produced in many ways. Heat can move via conduction. The properties of different objects cause them to be able to absorb, reflect, and/or conduct energy. Electric currents pass through a circuit. Skills: Students are able to: Collaboratively plan and carry out an investigation that converts energy one form to another. Identify the phenomenon. Identify the evidence to address the purpose of the investigation. Collect the data. Construct an explanation using evidence about heat production. Develop a model demonstrating that different objects can absorb, reflect, and/or conduct energy. Develop a model demonstrating electric circuits. Understanding: Students understand that: Energy can be transferred in various ways and between objects. Heat energy can be produced in many ways. The properties of objects, e.g. ability to absorb, reflect, or conduct energy, relate to their function. Electric energy can be transferred through circuits.

Science SC2015 (2015) Grade: 4	6 ) Develop a model of waves to describe patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength, and including that waves can cause objects to move. Unpacked Content Scientific And Engineering Practices: Developing and Using Models Crosscutting Concepts: Patterns Disciplinary Core Idea: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students: Develop a model of waves to describe patterns of amplitude. Develop a model of waves to describe patterns of wavelength. Develop a model of waves that describes patterns that cause objects to move. Teacher Vocabulary: Patterns Propagated Waves Wave amplitude Wavelength Net motion Model Relevant components Peaks Knowledge: Students know: Waves can be described in terms of patterns of repeating amplitude and wavelength (e.g., in a water wave there is a repeating pattern of water being higher and then lower than the baseline level of the water). Waves can cause an object to move. The motion of objects varies with the amplitude and wavelength of the wave carrying it. The patterns in the relationships between a wave passing, the net motion of the wave, and the motion of an object caused by the wave as it passes. How waves may be initiated (e.g., by disturbing surface water or shaking a rope or spring). The repeating pattern produced as a wave is propagated. Waves, which are the regular patterns of motion, can be made in water by disturbing the surface. When waves move across the surface of deep water, the water goes up and down in place; there is no net motion in the direction of the wave except when the water meets a beach. Waves of the same type can differ in amplitude (height of the wave) and wavelength (spacing between wave peaks). Skills: Students are able to: Develop a model to make sense of wave patterns that includes relevant components (i.e., waves, wave amplitude, wavelength, and motion of objects). Describe patterns of wavelengths and amplitudes. Describe how waves can cause objects to move. Understanding: Students understand that: There are similarities and differences in patterns underlying waves and use these patterns to describe simple relationships involving wave amplitude, wavelength, and the motion of an object. Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards AAS Standard: SCI.AAS.4.6- Using given models, identify patterns found in waves.
Science SC2015 (2015) Grade: 8 Physical Science	18 ) Use models to demonstrate how light and sound waves differ in how they are absorbed, reflected, and transmitted through different types of media. Unpacked Content Scientific And Engineering Practices: Developing and Using Models Crosscutting Concepts: Structure and Function Disciplinary Core Idea: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Evidence Of Student Attainment: Students: Use models to demonstrate how light waves differ in how they are absorbed, reflected, and transmitted through different types of media. Use models to demonstrate how sound waves differ in how they are absorbed, reflected, and transmitted through different types of media. Teacher Vocabulary: Light Sound Absorption Reflection Transmission Media Transparent Translucent Opaque Frequency Amplitude Wavelength Electromagnetic waves Knowledge: Students know: A medium is not required to transmit electromagnetic waves. A sound wave, a type of mechanical wave, needs a medium through which it is transmitted. When a sound wave strikes an object, it is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depending on the object's material. When a light wave shines on an object, it is absorbed, reflected, or transmitted depending on the object's material and the frequency of the light. The path that light travels can be traced as straight lines, except at surfaces between different transparent materials (e.g., air and water, air and glass) where the path of light bends. The absorption, reflection, and transmission of light and sound waves can be identified by observing relevant characteristics of the wave, such as frequency, amplitude, and wavelength. Materials with certain properties are well-suited for particular functions (e.g., lenses and mirrors, sound absorbers in concert halls, colored light filters, sound barriers next to highways). Skills: Students are able to: Develop models of light and sound waves and identify the relevant components. Describe the relationships between components of the model. Use observations from the model to provide causal accounts for events and make predictions for events by constructing explanations. Understanding: Students understand that: Light and sound waves differ in how they interact with different types of media. The absorption, reflection, and transmission of light and sound waves depends on the type of media through which they are transmitted. Materials with certain properties are well-suited for particular functions (e.g., lenses and mirrors, sound absorbers in concert halls, colored light filters, sound barriers next to highways). AMSTI Resources: AMSTI Module: Electricity, Waves, and Information Transfer Alabama Alternate Achievement Standards AAS Standard: SCI.AAS.8.18- Investigate and describe how light and sound waves travel through a variety of media.
