Have you ever tried singing in a karaoke? How does it feel? Isn’t it enjoyable? Filipinos are fond of
singing their favorite songs in karaoke. Events like birthdays, reunions or holidays are never complete
without karaoke. Even in their pastimes, they do karaoke. Have you ever wondered how sound waves
travel through your ears when you do karaoke?
Guide Questions:
Q1. Were you able to identify the sounds you’ve heard?
______________________________________________________________________________
Q2. Enumerate at least five (5) identified sounds you’ve heard.
______________________________________________________________________________
Q3. How does it feel listening to your surroundings while your eyes are closed?
______________________________________________________________________________
Q4. What do you think are the factors that made you hear and identify the sounds?
______________________________________________________________________________
The objective of this activity is for the students to infer that sounds can travel through solid, liquid and
gas. (For the complete details of the Activity, please refer to Self-learning Module on page 14 - 16)
Guide Questions:
Q4. Based on the given speeds of sound, arrange the listed materials in the
table from fastest to slowest.

HOW DOES THE TEMPERATURE AFFECT THE SPEED OF SOUND
This activity will enable the students to describe the effect of temperature on the speed of sound. In
doing this activity the following materials will be use, however students are free to use any substitute
materials available at home. Students must also ask the assistance of their PARENTS, SIBLINGS
and OTHER HOUSEHOLD MEMBERS.
a. 3 pcs identical 1000 mL containers or tall containers
b. laboratory thermometer
c. stirring rod or metal spoon
d. bucket of ice (cold water)
e. tap water
f. hot water
g. notebook
h. pen
(For the complete details and procedure of the activity, kindly refer to Self-learning Module on
pages 18 – 19).
Procedure:
Guide Questions:
Q1. Based on the illustrations, at which air temperature the speed of sound is the fastest? The slowest?

Q2. As the temperature increases, does sound travel faster or slower? As the temperature decreases,
does sound travel faster or slower?

Study and analyze the line graph below which shows the speed of sound at different temperatures.
Guide Questions:
Q3. What is the independent variable in the graph – the speed of sound or the temperature? What is
the dependent variable in the graph – the speed of sound or the temperature?

Sound travels at about 331𝑚/𝑠 in dry air at 00C. Since the speed of sound is directly affected by the temperature
of the medium, the speed of sound changes when the temperature changes. At high temperatures, the sound
travels at a faster speed and vice versa. This means that at temperatures greater than 00C speed of sound is
greater than 331 𝑚/𝑠 by an amount 0.6 𝑚/𝑠 / 𝐶 of the temperature of the medium.
In equation,
v = 331 𝑚/𝑠
+ 0.6 𝑚/𝑠 / 𝐶
(T) is a constant factor of temperature.
where T is the temperature of air in Celsius degree and 0.6 𝑚/𝑠 / 𝐶 is a constant factor of temperature.
