Energy Unit Week 33 Directions 1.Prepare your desk for science. Science notebook Signed matter test (if you didn’t have it yesterday – bring it to me) 2.Use voice level 0 (no voice) to review your sound energy notes on notebook pg. 81.
3
Targets & Warm Up Targets: Students will discover how making changes to a vibrating object affects how the object vibrates. Warm Up: What is a vibration? How are vibrations related to sound? Do all objects vibrate in the same way?
4
Table of Contents DateTitlePage 5-15-15Sound & Vibrations82 Once you are finished with the Table of Contents, go to page 81 and add the title and date to the top of the page.
5
Sound Occurs when objects vibrate (a quick back-and forth movement) The vibrations travel through air as sound waves If the waves reach our ears, we hear sound
6
Longitudinal Waves Particles move parallel to the direction the wave travels Particles vibrate side to side
7
Transverse vs. Longitudinal
8
How to Draw Waves
9
Important words for today: Frequency Pitch Thickness Tension
10
Wave Vocabulary Frequency: The number of waves that pass a certain point in a certain amount of time – Faster vibration = higher frequency – Slower vibration = slower frequency
11
Frequency Faster vibration = higher frequency Slower vibration = slower frequency
12
Wave Vocabulary Pitch: What makes a sound seem high or low Depends on a sound’s frequency – Faster frequency = high pitch – Slower frequency = low pitch
13
Pitch Faster frequency = high pitch Slower frequency = low pitch
14
Fill in the blanks Vibration: ____________ Frequency: ____________ Pitch: ____________ Vibration: ____________ Frequency: ____________ Pitch: ____________ fast high slow low
15
Listen to the sounds High pitch? Low pitch? Fast frequency? Slow frequency? Fast vibration? Slow vibration? How is pitch related to frequency and vibration?
16
Sounds
17
Today we will experiment with the thickness and tension of objects Thickness: the distance between the top/bottom or front/back of something Tension: A force tending to stretch or elongate something vibration, frequency, pitch Do you think that changing the thickness and tension of objects will change the vibration, frequency, and pitch?
18
Question to discuss: Guitar strings do not all have same thicknesses. Why?
19
Thickness of Guitar Strings
20
Question to discuss: What is the purpose of this section of the guitar? It increases and decreases the tension (tightens and loosens the string)
21
Tension of Rubber Bands
22
Extra Time? https://www.brainpop.com/artsandmusic/maki ngmusic/strings/ String Instruments (4 minutes)
23
Homework
24
Reflection Questions How does changing the thickness of an object affect the vibration of the object? How does changing the tension of an object affect the vibration of the object?
25
Targets (Revisited) Students will discover how making changes to a vibrating object affects how the object vibrates.
