Now that we've figured out what exactly happens to the vibrations (and ultimately the waves) when the pitch and the volume change, we're trying to put all these pieces together into why one object, like the car's radio that got the windows at a distance to shake, can make so many different types of sounds!
We did some partner work to think about representing changes in pitch (the frequency of the waves) and changes in volume (the amplitude of the wave). And the BEST part...was connecting this all to math! We realize that ratios, proportions, and graphing are all a part of understanding this scientific phenomenon. Check back next week as we have some posters that explain our thinking at this moment in our unit!
