Science Investigation:
● I can recognize that sound is the result of vibration; and demonstrate that the
larger the vibration, the louder the sound.
● I can recognize that pitch is the result of differences in the rate of vibration, and
predict how a change in vibration will affect a sound.
● I can demonstrate a variety of ways of producing sounds: eg., by striking an
empty glass, by blowing air into a bottle, by constructing and using a device
that involves vibrating strings.
