    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.


    Success Criteria: I can...

    • Write answers to questions about sound.
    • Connect information about sound.
    • Read an article about sound.


                                                                                                              Achievement Objectives:

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


    Activities:


    Tuesday


    • 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, the students will draw and label a Halloween setting and name all the different sounds that there is.


                                                                                                                   Wednesday


    • The students will first watch this   of the top 10 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.
