Thursday, 3/12/2020- B Day- Periods 2, 4, 6, & 8

Focus Question:

How can any object make so many different sounds?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Answer the following question in complete sentences: What does a musician need to do differently when interacting with an instrument in order to get it to produce louder sounds?
  2. Consensus Model– On ISN p.77,  draw a revised model to reflect what we have figured out about what the sound source (including the truck speaker) is doing when it makes different sounds.
  3. Vibration Model Practice– On the handout, draw a step-by-step model of a sound source vibrating.
  4. Investigation– Conduct an investigation on how vibration affected our voices: “How do people force their voice to make different kinds of sounds?” handout.

Home Learning:

  • Assessment tomorrow, 3/13
  • Self-Reflection for ISN MP3 (Assignment #012) due tomorrow, 3/13

Friday, 3/6/2020- B Day

Focus Question:

How can any object make so many different sounds?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN. Add to the Table of Contents: “Graphical Representation p.74” (Left Side). Head p.74 properly with “Graphical Representation-3/6/2020.”
  2. Science Friday- Face Time
  3. Write-Pair-Share– Answer the following question on ISN p.74- How do the vibrations from a sound source compare for higher-pitch vs lower-pitch sounds?
  4. Application/Practice– “Connecting Graphical Representations to the Sounds Made” handout- Pair works on their assigned question set then join with another pair to share claims, evidence, & reasoning for question set.

Thursday, 2/20/2020- A Day- Block Schedule- Periods 2, 4, 6, & 8

Focus Question:

Do all objects vibrate when they make sounds?

Learning Tasks:

  1. Do Now– Please get out your ISN and copy down today’s Home Learning in your planner. Add to the Table of Contents: “Laser & Mirror Demonstration p.66” (Left Side). Head p.66 properly with “Laser & Mirror Demonstration-2/20/20.”
  2. Write-Pair-Share– Answer the following questions on ISN p.67: What do you think would cause differences in how the laser dot moved in the demonstration? How do you think the laser dot will move if we use a speaker to make different sounds? Why?
  3. Laser & Mirror Demonstration– Speaker- As we carry out our investigation, record our data on Part 2 of your handout. Make a claim from evidence on Part 4 of your handout.
  4. Rubric for Modeling Motion of an Object Making Sounds– Work with your partner to use the rubric to evaluate and revise your model.
  5. Notebook Work– Tape “How do instruments move when making sounds (vibrating)?” handout to ISN p.61. Tape “How do objects move when they make sounds?” (laser & mirror) handout as a flip page to ISN p.66.

Home Learning

Readings– due tomorrow, 2/21– Where else are lasers used to detect vibration? (Reading 1: “Engineers Measure Big Ben’s Bell” and “Reading 2: The Vibrating Moon”) Read the two articles and then answer the questions
