    Learning Intentions: We are learning to (WALT)...

    •  L4. explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as sound 
    • explore frequency of sound- vibrating at certain frequency - - ears - change in air pressure, notes
    • relationship between frequency and notes musical scale
    • ratio between each tone and semitone's frequency
    • explore the diatonic and the chromatic scale
    • explore Do re mi in the C major scale - no sharps - discover the pattern
    • create a rule for the other  keys in the c Major scale - no. of sharps
    • explore why there can be no duplication of tones or semitones in a scale - intro of flats on the F major scale
    • Create a rule to make chords for each major chord
    • explore the A minor scale - no sharps - discover the pattern
    • create a rule for the other keys on the A minor scale
    • Create a rule to make chords for each minor scale
    • write lyrics with matching chords - 2 verses
    • translate lyrics to Maori, play an instrument and sing

    Success Criteria: I can/have...

    •  notes, tones and semitones - identify and play
    • calculate the intervals as fractions between each semitones
    • convert the intervals as fractional exponent 
    • understand octave as the 8th note and as the 13th tone
    • calculate intervals as fractional power
    • calculate ratio of the frequency between each tone and semitone
    • calculate by the exponential value of each tone, semitone converting fractional power to its square root function

    Activities:

    1. Guitar, keyboard - explore notes, Do re mi fa so la ti do. Its meaning. Why Do re me?
    2.  Octave? The eighth note. What happens?
    3. Chord? What are they?
    4. Tones and semitones - vibrations of different length of the same string
    5. sound - creation, propagation, frequency, pitch, frequency
    6.  explore notes and ways you could demonstrate to play Do re me
    7. explore the c major scale
    8. explore the a minor scale
    9. compare the C Maj to the A Minor scale
    10. Create chords using the rule
    11. Use chords using the rule to apply to lyrics

    Follow Up Tasks:
    1. HW. mathsbuddy begins Sun 8am tofollowing Sun 8am.

    2. Copy mindmap to exercise book.

    3. Complete Diatonic and chromatic scale on spreadsheet and create major and minor chords.
