WRAP UP
To summarize what you have learned, complete the paragraph below by
arranging the scrambled letters to form the correct word. Write your answer in a
separate sheet of paper.

Sound waves are produced through (1) NIOTIVRAB of objects. They are considered
(2)CHANEMLACI waves because they also require a (3)EDMUIM in order to travel or
propagate. They cannot travel through a (4)UAVMUC. Sound waves are also called
(5)LANIDUTINGOL waves because they travel back and forth or (6)LELLARAP to the

direction where the wave travels. The (7)DESPE of sound waves vary. It depends on the
type of material medium they are traveling to. Sound waves travel fastest in (8)DOSILS,
second fastest in (9)UIDLIQS and slowest in (10)GESSA.

POST TEST B
Read each statement below. If you believe that the statement is correct, place a
check (√) in the AGREE column, but if you believe that it is wrong, then place a
check (√) in the DISAGREE column.

STATEMENT AGREE DISAGREE
