VA SOL:
The student will investigate and understand how sound is created and transmitted, and how it is
used. Key concepts include
a)
compression waves;
b)
vibration, compression, wavelength, frequency, amplitude;
c)
the ability of different media (solids, liquids, and gases) to transmit sound; and
d)
uses and applications of sound waves.
Content Objective(s):
TLWBAT explain what sound is and how it is produced and transmitted
TLWBAT explain how sound travels through different forms of matter (solid, liquid, gas)
IEP Goal/Objective:
Accommodations/
Differentiation
Assessment (based on objectives):
Informal: post it note activity to check for understanding about the
definition of sound and how it is transmitted and produced
Informal: Solid, liquid, gas activity sheet to see if students understand
the different between the 3 types of matter and how they transmit sound
Independent practice: students will complete the foldable that requires
them to fill-in the blanks about sound, sound transmission, and sound
traveling through matter. They will also draw a small picture to represent
the concept.
Materials:
Rubber band
Dominoes
Solid, liquid, gas sheet
Foldable
Hula Hoops
Post its
Integration of technology: Document camera
Alternative Plan: Should technology fail, the teacher will discuss the solid,
liquid, gas activity and draw the examples on the board.

Independent Practice:
- Students will create a foldable that can be glued into their science
notebook. First however, they should write their names on it and
turn it in to the teacher before they glue it into their notebook.
- Make sure to show students the finished model foldable as you give
instructions
- Fold along the solid black lines. The foldable is a tri-fold
- On the blank side of the flap, the student should finish the phrase
started on the other side of the flap
- In the center boxes of the foldable, students should draw a picture
to represent the concept described on the adjacent flap
- Cut along the dotted lines to create flaps
