SOUN

OBJECTIVES:
a. explain that sound can move through
solid, liquids and gases,
b. identify mediums that sounds can
travel through and classify them from
slowest to fastest, and;
c. interpret data on the speed of sound
using a bar graph.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Go to your chosen group.
2. Each group should prepare ¼ sheet of
paper with the list of all group members.
3. One minute time allotment is given for
each group to prepare their presentation.
4. Be guided by the rubrics given to you per
group.

 LET’S THINK
ABOUT IT!
In some western movies, a character would be
shown ……..
putting an ear to the …………
hard ground to find out >>>>>>>>..
if someone was coming. Does this work?
Why?
 Read the conversation below involving two high school
students discussing about their upcoming test.

Robin: I wish each subject would list the dates for all assessment
tests.
Harry: Don’t worry. I should know at least
a week ahead of time when each
test will be for all our classes.
Robin: Why? Do the teachers always
announce that information?
Harry: No, but ill make sure to keep my ear to the ground, so that
I’m the first to find that stuff out.
 Why does sound travel
fastest in solid than in liquid
and gas?

1.Sound uses a medium to
travel. In which medium
sound travels fastest?
a. Solid
b. Liquid
c. Gas
d. Water vapor
a. Solid
2. Which of the following would
be most likely to transmit
sound BEST?
a. water in the swimming pool
b. water in the ocean
c. air in your classroom
d. steel in the cabinet
d. steel in the cabinet
 3. Sound needs a medium to
propagate, if a meteorite
crashed on the moon would we
be able to hear it on Earth?
a. yes
b. No
c. Maybe
d. None of the Above
b. No
4. Which of the following statement
is correct when sound waves travel
through a medium?
a) particles of the medium are transferred
from one place to another.
b) energy is transmitted from different
places.
c) energy is transmitted at constant speed
d) None of the above statement is applicable.
c) energy is transmitted at
constant speed
 5. Why are bells made of
metal and not of wood?
a) Bells are not made of wood but of metals because
wood does not last long as compared to metals.
b) Bells are not made of metal because metals are
stronger than wood.
c) Bells are not made of wood but of metals
because when metals are banged they create good
sound because of their property.
d) None of the above statement is correct.
c. bells are not made of wood but
of metals because when metals are
banged they create good sound
because of their property.
 ASSIGNMENT
Understanding the properties of sound and how sound waves
travel help engineers determine the best room shape and
construction materials when designing libraries, classrooms,
sound recording studios, concert halls and theatres.
Room shape and materials can impact how sound waves travel
since sound waves bounce off different object in different ways.
Supposing you are an engineer and was given a project to
construct a house near the airport how are you going to design
the house using materials to make the room sound proof?
 This recording was made on Feb. 22, 2021, on the
fourth sol (Martial day) by SuperCam instrument on
NASA’s Perseverance rover after deployment of the
rover’s mast. It provides a different overall sound than
the SuperCam audio recording from the mission’s
first sol. Some wind can be heard, especially around
20 seconds into the recording. Rover background
sounds have been removed.
