Classroom Note:
Meaning Of Sound Energy
Sound energy is a type of energy that is made when objects vibrate. When something vibrates, it moves back and forth really quickly. This movement creates sound waves that travel through the air and into our ears, letting us hear different sounds. Sounds can be loud or soft and high-pitched or low-pitched.
Evaluation Questions:
- What is sound energy?
- Name two objects that can produce sound.
- How does sound travel from one place to another?
- Describe one new thing you learned about sound today.
