Overview:

Students will experiment to identify how vibrations cause sound. A student worksheet is provided.

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.
