Cognitive process through Bloom’s theory Bloom’s Taxonomy is the most well-known for the work done in the Cognitive Domain. Skills in the cognitive domain revolve around knowledge, comprehension, and critical thinking of a particular topic. Traditional education tends to emphasize the skills in this domain, particularly the lower-order objectives. The categories in the Cognitive Domain go from the lowest order to the highest order of human thinking.

CHANGING SOUNDS Sounds Sound is a type of vibrations It travels through air, solid or liquids It travels fastest through solids It can not pass through a completely empty space like on moon,if we want to send messages in space we have to change the sound vibrations to electrical or radio signals Sound is a form of energy as it travels from one place to another Sound can change by pitch and volume Pitch is the rise and fall of sound. Pitch depends on thickness, size and length of the object Volume is the level of sound Small musical instruments produce high sound because vibrations are near, big musical instruments produce low sound because vibrations are far

Changing sounds q. How our ears work and how we hear sounds? 1. Our outer ears are shaped to catch sound waves 2. They pass the sound waves down to our ear canal 3. The sound waves make our ear drum vibrate 4. The ear drum passes these vibrations on to 3 tiny bones 5. These tiny bones carry the vibration to a snail shell shaped tube 6. Inside the tube there are many small nerve cells 7. These nerve cells carry the sound messages to our brain
