Remote Learning Plan: Sound Waves 8th Grade
Overview
This Remote Learning Plan was created by Courtney Bakan, Cassaundra Griffith, and Laura Trautman in collaboration with Sara Cooper and Annette Weise as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for 8th Grade Science students. Students will figure out, "How can sound make something move?". This Remote Learning Plan addresses the following NDE Standards: SC.8.2.2.A and SC.8.2.2.B
Remote Learning Plan: Sound Waves 8th Grade
This Remote Learning Plan was created by Courtney Bakan, Cassaundra Griffith, and Laura Trautman in collaboration with Sara Cooper and Annette Weise as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project. Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for 8th Grade Science students. Students develop ideas related to how sounds are produced, how they travel through media, and how they affect objects at a distance.They make observations of sound sources and figure out that patterns of differences in those vibrations are tied to differences in characteristics of the sounds being made. They gather data on how objects vibrate when making different sounds to characterize how a vibrating object’s motion is tied to the loudness and pitch of the sounds they make. Students also conduct experiments to support the idea that sound needs matter to travel through, and they will use models and simulations to explain how sound travels through matter at the particle level.
This Remote Learning Plan addresses the following NDE Standards: SC.8.2.2.A and SC.8.2.2.B
