Driving Question: What causes sound?

Claim: Sound is caused by force, movements, and manipulations of air
waves.

Snapping, slow or fast, shaking to

make noise, muffle clap against
hand
High Tink due to metal on metal.
Started and stopped immediately,
no echo
High Pitched echo, slight soft echo.
Started with touch and ended a
second later.
Shaking beans, shake hand to start
and stop sound
Hail, shook can to start and stop
sound
Guitar, hook finger underneath
rubber band and plucked it, started
and stopped with the finger
Wolf howl, warm up with heat, take
off eat and hold straight up and
down, it makes sound. Keeps
making sound for 30 seconds
Plastic waving in the wind, hit with
hand to start/stop sound
Pow wow, low tone, hit with hand to
start/stop sound
High pitched whisper, vibrations in
water, hit against solid object,
place in water to see vibrations and
hear a slight sound

Cow Bell

Hollow, loud. Hit with mallet. Sound

echoes for a small amount of time.
High, tap shoes, loud or soft. Tap
sticks together to start/stop sound.
Echo, high pitched. Hit hands
together to start/stop sound.
Many high pitched jingles, Sleigh
bells. Shake or hit to start/stop
sound.
Different tones, many sounds for
each. Press note key and strum
strings. Change to different notes
to make different sounds.
Vibrating hand, starts when hits,
high pitched echoes, stops when
you touch it. Hold by string, hit with
stick to start sound.

Reasoning:
Sound is caused by force, movements, and manipulations of air
waves because to make any of the sounds, we had to strike, shake,
strum or heat the objects. For example, we had to strike the triangles,
drums, xylophone, wind chimes, cow bell, wooden sticks, and symbols,
shake the maracas and can with beads, strum the plastic with rubber
band, guiro and harpsichord, and heat the pipe. We visually saw
vibrations in the water with the tuning fork.
