Blood is pumped from the heart to the body and then back to the heart. Use the words arteries, capillaries, heart, and veins to show the path the blood takes through your body.

The blood flows from the heart, through the arteries, through the capillaries, through the veins and back to the heart.

In the picture of the heart, identify the vessel with the X and discuss where the blood is going. X

The blood is flowing to the lungs. The blood returning from the body must go to the lungs to get oxygen before it can be pumped to the body.

When riding in a car, you notice that the wheels make sounds against the pavement. The pitch rises as the car speeds up. State a hypothesis based on this observation.

The pitch of the wheels increases with speed because the vibrations caused by the wheels get faster as the car moves faster.

You want to experiment to test how well various materials muffle sounds. Which variables would you keep the same and which would you change?

Same: person listening, sound being blocked, room where test is made. Change: material blocking sounds.

What instrument plays at a higher pitch, a bass or a violin?

Olivia is standing at her front door. Her friend Gabe is five houses down the street. Olivia yells, “Gabe!” How is the sound of Olivia’s voice transmitted to Gabe?

Gabe doesn’t hear Olivia when she calls. When she calls again, what are two things she can do to make sure that Gabe hears her?

Move closer so that the sound doesn’t have to travel so far and yell louder by cupping her hands around her mouth to direct the sound waves in Gabe’s direction.
