6. Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Congratulations on your increased knowledge about Sound!!! You Have Learned… 1.Sound is Vibration. 2.Vibration is the motion of sound. 3.The pitch of sound is changed by changing its vibration. 4.Sounds with higher frequency, have a higher pitch. 5.Sounds with lower frequency, have a lower pitch. 6.The measurement of the loudness of sound is called amplitude. 7.Sound travels in waves. 8.The number of times a sound wave repeats in a second is called frequency. 9.Sound is everywhere. Think about… How can a person feel sound? Can you experience sound without hearing sound?

17. Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion This activity meets the following KY Common Core for Science Standards: SC-04-1.2.3 Students will: explain that sound is a result of vibrations, a type of motion; describe pitch ( high, low) as a difference in sounds that are produced and relate that to the rate of vibration. This Webquest meets the following objectives: Students will explain the movement of sound. Students will compare the pitch of sound in relation to the rate of vibration.

18. Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Learners: This webquest was designed for the use of a third or fourth grade class. Students should use this in groups of four or five students. This webquest teaches about sound including information on how sound travels, frequency and pitch, and loudness and amplitude. Accommodations can be made for IEP/504 students by arranging differentiated grouping among the students. Helpful Hints: It may be beneficial to introduce this unit by showing different sounds and a variety of pitches. Having several different instruments available for students to demonstrate sound can be helpful to students by giving them a physical manipulative to go along with this webquest. NEXT Teacher Page
