FOCUS / ARONGA learning intentions:

We are FOCUSING on identifying how sound works.

We are FOCUSING on selecting information about sound and explaining our understanding of it.

We are FOCUSING on enhancing our understanding of sound by creating art with the theme of sound.

Success Criteria: I can...

• Write answers to questions about sound.
• Connect information about sound.
• Read an article about sound.
• Create art with the theme of sound

                                                                                                          Achievement Objectives:

Explore, describe, and represent patterns and trends for everyday examples of physical phenomena, such as sound.

Activities:

Monday

• The students will first watch this   about what is sound.
• Then the students will see a list of animals. They will write in their science books the pitch and the amplitude (how loud) the sounds each animal makes.
  
• Then the students will use this link to create a fact file of all the different characteristics of sound waves: wavelength, amplitude, frequency, time period and velocity.
• Finally, within the slideshow the students have made about the different circus acts they will add images of sources of sound and give explanations for why the sources of sound would be there.

                                                                                                               Tuesday

• The students will first watch this   of the top 20 Disney hardest songs to sing.
• • In their science books the students will write and answer the questions below:

  • 1. Before you read this, what is sound? 

    2. List stories, films, books which show sound in them.

    3. What similarities or consistencies are there between them.

  • Students will then read the article Sound cloak.
    

  • They will write any keywords and scientific vocabulary which is related to sound.
  • Finally, they will rule a 10cm by 10cm frame and draw a picture, icon, or meme that represents the concept/theme of sound.
  OR
  
  They will complete the "Sound cloak" grid.
