Introduction
Today we are going to learn about sound and some of sounds properties! Our objective for the day is to plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
As we learn about different sounds today, record some of the sounds and vibrations you hear on the Listening Walk Graphic Organizer.
Task
As a class, we will learn more about different sounds, and start noticing things you may have never noticed before. We will walk around the school and if you hear a different sound on you paper shade it in to record that you heard that sound. Also look to see if that sound made a vibration. I want you to discover that sound can make things move and moving things can make sound.
After recording sounds, you will do some research to learn more about why this happens when we hear sound, or when we make things move and sound is created!
Process
Now that you have heard some sounds and started to notice vibration, let's watch a video to teach us more about sound. Listen carefully to the video because it is going to teach you a lot about vibrations and give you tons of examples which you will use to fill out the next graphic organizer!
What is Sound?
Next, Listen to this passage about "How to See Sound" to gather more ideas and examples.
Click right below!!!
After using all of the resources fill out this graphic organizer. Draw 3 pictures of things that make sound and the vibrations coming from it.
Great Work! Let's Complete an assessment to see what we know!

Evaluation
You have made it so far, now it is time for the fun part! You get to participate in your own sound science experiment! When you have finished everything you will bring me your graphic organizer and your questions with the answers written.
I will give your group a bowl with Saran Wrap on it, and some sprinkles. You are going to use your voice to see the sprinkles bounce by screaming at the bowl! You get to see first hand how the sound coming from your voice makes the sprinkles vibrate! How cool right?
Scream high, scream low, scream loud, scream soft! You have the rest of the science time to test out your voice and see sound and vibration that you create.
Conclusion
Congratulations Scientists! You have learned so much about sound! I am so proud of you all! Try to start noticing all the sounds around you and how they make vibrations and also how when something vibrates it can result in sound!

1-PS4-3 Waves and Their Applications
Performance Expectation: Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
Clarification Statement: Examples of vibrating materials that make sound could include tuning forks or plucking a stretched string. Examples of how sound can make matter vibrate could include holding a piece of paper near a speaker making sound or holding an object near a vibrating tuning fork.
Disciplinary Core Ideas: Sound can make matter vibrate, and vibrating matter can make sound. (LE.PS4A.a)
