Make sure that teams are heterogeneous, with one high-ability students, one student who has trouble learning, and the balance from those considered to be more average. Teams will stay together for the entire unit, and the role of captain rotates each lesson (based on Teaching Gifted Kids in the Regular Classroom, S. Winebrenner). Alternative: You can designate a role for each student, rotating roles each lesson. 1 Starter; 2 Getter; 3 Recorder; 4 Timer 2. Attention Grabber: (See What Your Third Grader Needs to Know, page 293 for more details.) Turn on a selection of music at a moderate level. Tell the students to cup their hands around their ears and ask them what they notice: Does the sound seem to get louder? Have them take their hands away and the sound becomes softer again. Ask the students to guess or explain why this happens. Write their answers on the board. 3. Lesson: Read What Your Third Grader Needs to Know, page 291. (Stop reading at Let s see how, on page 291.) 4. Demonstration: Place the ruler on the edge of a desk, with about half of the ruler extending over the edge. Bend the end of the ruler down and then let go; the ruler will move quickly up and down. Tell the students that when something moves quickly back and forth like this, we say that it is vibrating. (Write the word on the board in a special area saved for your Science Word Bank. You ll be adding to this later.) 5. Experiment/Activity: (See What Your Third Grader Needs to Know, page 293 for more details.) Distribute the materials to each Lab Team Captain.

Light wave light conveyed by wave motion 3. Matter - anything that occupies space and responds to gravity C. Procedures/Activities 1. Attention Grabber: Set up a row of dominoes, spacing them fairly close together. Knock the first one over and watch how the wave travels down the line. Tell the students that, like the dominoes, sound travels in waves. Add sound wave to the Science Word Bank. 2. Turn down the lights and tell the students they must be absolutely silent for your demonstration. They are going see a sound wave. 3. Demonstration: The Sound Cannon (See Appendix B for instructions prepare ahead.) 4. Lesson: Ask the students to share what they noticed about the demonstration. Tell the students that they have just seen sound waves travel through air. Now they will be doing an experiment which will show how sound travels though liquid (water) and solid (bone) matter. Define the word matter and add it to the Word Bank. 5. Experiment: Making Waves (See Appendix C for instructions). The role of Lab Team Captain rotates with each lesson. Distribute the materials to each Lab Team Captain. Distribute Appendix C and have the students work in their teams to complete the activity. 6. Have the captain of each Lab Team share their findings. 7. Lesson: a. Based on the experiments they just completed, have the students predict what matter sound travels best through solid (bone), liquid (water), or gas (air)? Sound travels more swiftly and efficiently through water (5,000 feet/second) than through dry air (1,088 ft/sec). It can travel even more quickly through some types of solids (copper = 11,000 ft/sec; steel = 16,000 ft/sec). b. Based on their observations of thunder and lightning, ask the students to predict which travels faster: the sound wave or the light wave? Add light wave to the Word Bank. The light wave is much faster. c. Tell the students that thunder is the sound made by a flash of lightning passing through the air. A lightning flash is a big electric Third Grade, Sound Ideas 2001 Colorado Unit Writing Project 5
6 spark. You see the flash as soon as it happens. Thunder is the sound of the spark. The sound takes about five seconds to travel one mile. So, if the lightning flash is 1 mile away, you will hear the thunder about five seconds later. D. Assessment/Evaluation 1. Do a quick review, calling on students at random, to answer the following questions: a. How does sound travel? (in waves) b. What is a sound wave? c. What can sound waves travel through? (solid, liquid, gas) d. What form does sound travel through the best? (water) e. Which travels faster sound waves or light waves? (light waves) f. What is a light wave? 2. Collect and review the Lab Team worksheets (Appendix C). Lesson Three: Sound Qualities A. Daily Objectives 1. Concept Objective(s) a. Students know and understand common properties, forms, and changes in matter and energy. b.

Attention Grabber: Demonstrate a musical instrument with a simple tune or rhythm. Third Grade, Sound Ideas 2001 Colorado Unit Writing Project 6
7 2. Lesson: Ask the students to name some musical instruments and describe how they work. Make a list on the board with two columns: instrument and how it works. a. Stringed instruments, like guitars, have stretched strings that vibrate when they are plucked or strummed. Wind instruments, like recorders or clarinets, make vibrations when the musician blows down the tube. Percussion instruments, like drums, triangles, and cymbals, are usually played by hitting or tapping them to make them vibrate. 3. As the class discusses the different lengths of rubber bands and how this affected the sound, introduce the vocabulary words. Add the words to the Science Word Bank. 4. Experiment/Activity: Tell the students they will be making their own musical instruments today. Distribute the materials to each Lab Team Captain. Distribute Appendix D and have the students work in their teams to complete the activity. E. Assessment/Evaluation 1. Have the captain of each Lab Team report their findings. Encourage accurate and complete reporting of the results and their observations. 2. Provide a focus activity for the remaining students as follows: a. Tell the students to get out a blank sheet of paper. Tell them to answer the following questions on the paper. Tell them to listen to the reports from each team and look for ideas. i. List 3 details your team missed but another team noticed. ii. Ask the students: How do all musical instruments produce sound? All musical instruments use vibrations to make sounds. iii. What would you like to learn more about sound? 3. Collect the individual responses and Lab Team worksheets (Appendix D). Lesson Four: What Did You Say?: The Human Voice A. Daily Objectives 1.

10 Lesson Six: Take Care of Yourself A. Daily Objectives 1. Concept Objective(s) a. Students will recognize that the human body is made of systems with structures and functions that are related and serve different functions in growth and survival. 2. Lesson Content a. Protecting Your Hearing 3. Skill Objective(s) a. Students will describe the human structures for hearing and speaking. b. Students will be able to list potential hazards and ways to protect their hearing. B. Materials 1. Ear Accordion models produced earlier (or a sample if the students have taken theirs home). 2. One empty bathroom tissue tube 3. Wax paper (4 inches square) 4. One small rubber band C. Key Vocabulary None D. Procedures/Activities 1. Attention Grabber: Fasten the piece of wax paper over one end of the tube with the rubber band. Tap gently on the wax paper and ask the students what it reminds them of (a drum). Inform the students that this is a model of the auditory canal and eardrum. 2. Lesson: Ask a student to place his or her finger lightly against the wax paper. Place your lips near the other tube end and say, good vibrations. Ask the student to describe what happened to the wax paper. (They often say it tickles.) 3. Experiment/Activity: Show students why nothing should go into ears other than sound. Take your eardrum model and poke it with a pencil to break the wax paper. Explain that the eardrum is much more delicate than the wax paper. 4. Have the students predict what will happen if you yell directly into the eardrum model (It will vibrate more violently.) Inform students that when the eardrum vibrates violently, it makes the rest of the structures in the ear vibrate violently as well. This can damage the tiny, delicate hairlike cells. People who play loud music all the time often harm their hearing due to hair-cell damage. They usually don t notice that damage until it is too late. 5. Discuss proper use of earphones, emphasizing moderate volume. Ask students what they could do to protect their ears from very loud sounds. (They could use their hands to block out some of the sound.) Third Grade, Sound Ideas 2001 Colorado Unit Writing Project 10

13 APPENDIX A: SOUND IDEAS GOOD VIBRATIONS Lab Team Members: (captain) You can actually see the vibrations that cause sound waves. Work in your team to complete the following activity: What happens? 1. Stretch a piece of plastic wrap over the surface of a bowl and fasten it with a rubber band. 2. Sprinkle a few grains of sugar on the plastic. 3. Now take a big pan, hold it near the bowl, and strike it with a spoon a few times. Third Grade, Sound Ideas 2001 Colorado Unit Writing Project 13
14 APPENDIX B: SOUND IDEAS SOUND CANNON (taken from The Kingfisher Young Discoverers Encyclopedia of Facts and Experiments) The Sound Cannon You will see a sound wave make a candle flicker. Materials: cardboard tube (toilet paper roll) some plastic scissors tape a small candle a saucer some sand Prepare ahead: 4. Stretch the pieces of plastic tightly across each end of the cardboard tube and tape them firmly in place. 5. Make a small hole in the middle of the plastic at one end of the tube. 6. Put some sand in the saucer and stand the candle upright in it. Light the candle. Demonstration: 7. Hold the end of the tube with the hole in it about an inch away from the flame. 8. Tap the other end of the tube with your finger. Watch what happens to the flame. How it works: When you tap the plastic, you make a sound wave that travels down the tube and out of the hole at the end. The sound wave makes the candle flame flicker. The wave can be strong enough to blow out the candle flame. Third Grade, Sound Ideas 2001 Colorado Unit Writing Project 14
