Below are the teacher’s notes on Sound. Please copy into your notebook 

• Sound is just tiny movements of air- vibrations causing a wave to move. 
•  An oscilloscope is a device that lets us see waves. 
•  The ear is cup shaped to focus the sound. 
• Sound travels 18 times faster through metal than through air. 
• Sound travels faster through bricks than the air. 
• Submarines use SONAR to "see" in the ocean. 
•  'Slinkies' show how sound waves move through the air. 
•  Air molecules squeeze together (shows air hockey pucks bumping into each other). 
• When the wave hits a barrier it bounces back...causing an echo! 
• The waves pass through each other. 
• Sound waves reflect off round surfaces, distorting the sound. 
• A speaker 'jiggles' like your eardrum! It vibrates! 
• What is a wave? Oceans, baseball stadiums. A wave is an undulation. 
• Frequency is how often the wave passes over a certain point. 
• A faster wave results in a higher frequency...slower waves result in lower frequencies. 
• Higher frequency = higher pitch....lower frequency = lower pitch. 
•  "Ultrasound' turns sound echo's into pictures. 
• Natural frequency is the sound that piano strings will vibrate at. 
• If you can sing the natural frequency of an object it will vibrate! 
• Ears are specialized structures designed to receive sound! 
• Sound is a Vibe!
