Module 30: Sound and Motion-Science 1B - Course Guide

Module Overview:

In this module, students will observe sounds around them and identify them as soft or loud and high- or low-pitched sounds. They will understand that sound travels in waves, can cause vibrations, and understand hos sound travels. They will also observe movements people and objects can make, as well as the connection between vibrations, sound, and motion.

Module Guiding Questions:

When a student starts a lesson ask them questions to check for prior knowledge and understanding and to review concepts being taught. At the end of the lesson ask the questions again to see if their answer changes.

Lesson Title	Question
Sound	How many sounds do you hear?
Motion	What is motion?

Module Video Questions:

When a student watches a video take time to ask them questions about what they watched. Suggested questions for the videos in this module are listed here. Suggestion: Have the student watch the entire video first all the way through. Then have them watch the video a second time, as they watch it pause the video and ask the questions.

Lesson Title	Video	Question
Sound	Sound All Around	Why are Maddie and Enrique stuck in the house? Why did they not like their pot and pan band? What materials does Enrique use to make an instrument?
Motion	Dance Party Playground	How does the merry-go-round move? How do people move on the slide? What motion do people make on the rocking horse? What dance move does Peter do during the dance party?

Module Suggested Read Aloud Books:

Take time to read to your student or have them read aloud to you. Read a different book each day. While reading the book point out concepts being taught. You may purchase these books or find them at your local library. Suggested things to discuss while reading the book:

What is the main idea?
What are three things new you learned?
How does this book relate to what you are learning about?

#	Book	Author
1	Sounds All Around	Wendy Pfeffer
2	The Listening Walk	Paul Showers
3	Newton and Me	Lynne Mayer

Module Outing:

Take some time to apply what your student is learning to the real world. Suggested outings are below.

#	Outing
1	Take your student to nearby railroad tracks, highways, or construction sites to observe motion and sounds on a larger scale. At home, practice closing your eyes and observing how the sound waves from your voice act differently in the shower, a hallway, and in a room with curtains and carpeting.
