Opening prayer
Father in Heaven we invite your presence in our
class today. Thank you for all the blessings you gave
us. Today we pray that you open our hearts and minds
and give us the needed wisdom and understanding in
our studies. Bless our teachers, our parents and all of
us. Teach and guide us in our studies. All these we
ask and pray in JESUS name, Amen.

 How good is your hearing?
1. Blindfold a volunteer.
2. Some of the students will stand forming a circle around the
volunteer.
3. The students will take turn making gentle noises, such as a
clap, a click of the fingers, a whisper or a quiet call.
4. After each sound, the person with the blindfold should point to
where they think the sound is coming from.
5. Try it again and this time with a cotton ball on the ears of the
blindfolded volunteer.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
“What have you noticed or observed on this activity?”
 What is sound?
Sound is a type of energy
made by vibration.

How sound is produce?

Sound is produced when an object

vibrates, creating a pressure wave.
The loudness of a sound refers to how
strong the sound seems to us when it
reaches to our ears.
● The softest and loudness of sound is
called volume.
● Some sound may be too loud while others
may be too soft. The volume of the sound
depends on the strength of a vibration.
 When sound come in contact with different materials like
walls or carpets, they are reflected or absorbed.
Some materials reflect sound and cause echoes, hard surface
like flat concreate walls are good at reflecting sounds.

Loudness is a measure of a how strong a sound seems to us. If

we apply greater force in an object, we produce loud sounds. If
we apply lesser force in an object, we produce soft sound
 The five characteristics of sound
Wavelength: A wavelength is
the distance between a part of
a wave of energy such as
light or sound and the next
similar part.
Amplitude: The
amplitude is the size
of a given wave.
 Frequency: The frequency refers to the
number of sound waves a sound produces
per second.
 Time Period – The
time period is almost
the opposite of the
frequency.
Velocity – finally, the velocity of the
wave, sometimes referred to as the speed.

Echolocation occurs when an animal emits a
sound wave that bounces off an object, returning
an echo that provides information about the
object's distance and size.
What is sound?
Sound is a type of energy made by vibration.
How does sound produced?
Sound is produced when an object vibrates,
creating a pressure wave
What are the characteristics of sound?
Wavelength, amplitude, frequency, time period,
and velocity.
 
Let them identify the picture and the ways on
how it create a sound.
Reflection
I want you to close your eyes and imagine
our world without sound.
Reflect yourself wherein there’s no sound
at all.
