Here's a list of great questions asked by your classmates:
- Does it always get quiet after a snowstorm?
- Does the snow absorb the sound like the wind?
- If the snow turns into ice does the ice absorb the sound too?
- Is it temporary or does it go away when the snow melts?
- Does snow block how sound travels?
- Does the fluffy snow some how absorb sounds because it's so thick and sound waves don't pass by?
- Does light have to do with anything?
- Does temperature have anything to do with it?
- Is it gonna go away when the snow melts?
- Can the snow block how maybe the sound travels?

STUDENT LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Students will learn that sound travels differently through different types of medium; I can use hangers and different types of medium to test how sound waves travel; I can document my findings in a chart.
MATERIALS:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. READ THROUGH ALL OF THE INSTRUCTIONS AND LOOK AT THE PICTURES BEFORE STARTING ACTIVITY!!!! 2. Open the Hanger Sound Activity Lab Sheet (below pictures) in Word or Google Docs. Fill out the Data Table as instructed on the LabSheet. 3. Get your materials together. You will need a wire hanger and at least 3 different types of materials to test. Remember you need pairs of objects that you can fasten onto the hanger (See pictures on the right) 4. Use the hanger, with one pair of objects first, then record the data. Unfasten this object and repeat the same process for at least two other types of objects. 5. To use the hanger sound device - Put the medium in front of the opening of your ears, press it with your fingers so you are closing off the opening to your ear - Do not put the medium inside of your ears! While holding the medium to both ears, move your head and torso in order to allow the hanger to hit against the table. Listen carefully to the sound that is being sent through the medium to your ears. 6. Fill out the information for each hanger tested in your table. Be sure to describe the sounds you are hearing in great detail. 7. Once tested all of your objects with your hangers and you've recorded all of the data in your chart, look at the outcomes for each of the items and compare your outcomes. Think about why you received the sound outcome you did for each item? Write your thoughts for each sound outcome in your chart. 8. Answer the remaining questions on the LabSheet 9. Save your LabSheet in your Google Drive, then upload the file to CANVAS to turn it in for credit. A. Did you receive the results you thought you would for each material tested? Explain the differences or similarities between your initial thoughts and your actual outcomes. B. What material had the loudest sound? Explain why. C. What material had the quietest sound? Explain why. D. Did the mass of the object dictate the volume of the sound? Explain findings. E. What would the wave lengths of loudest sound look like - draw an example. F. What would the wave lengths of the quietest sound look like - draw an example. 10. Once you have completed the lab and the lab sheet, upload your lab sheet to CANVAS. |
What this activity will look like:
SAMPLE SET UP WITH TWO STRINGS
Put the ends of the pair of objects next to your ears -
NOT IN THEM! It should look like this when you are ready to use the hanger device.
As shown here, gently bounce the hook part of the hanger against a solid object like to chair or table.
