Alright, here is the plan 10th Grade.
1) I want a comprehensive paper written on Google Docs and shared with 10thgradeacademy@gmail.com which is at least 2 pages and at least 6 paragraphs in length. In the paper you should include the main points from Arts Education Week, showing that you understood the most highlighted issues, then identify the mathematical formulas that were used and how they applied to the musical concepts that were discussed. Finally, describe which parts of the week you liked best.
Assignment Due Date: Friday, September 23, 2011.
Here are some reminders of things to discuss:
1) What is an inverse relationship and how was it tied to sound?
2) What were the formulas for the inverse relationships used to find the wavelengths for the diatonic scale and the lengths of the straws (be sure to identify each variable in the equations)
3) When the volume of water in a glass is increased what happens to the pitch?
4) What was the point of banging the drums or singing while moving away from a microphone?
5) Why are some ampitheaters circular and shaped similar to speakers?
6) What is sound and how does it travel?
7) What is pitch?
8) What is the range of audible frequency for humans?
9) How many notes are in an octave?
10) How much larger is the frequency for a note an octave higher than the previous note?
11) What is the scientific process and how was it used during Arts Education Week?
12) How is the mathematician Pythagoras tied to sound?
13) How is sound and Oobleck tied together?
14) Which videos stood out to you and how were they tied to sound?
15) Describe sine & sound waves. Include a description of what the shape is and the important parts.
16) What do the following words mean: wavelength, frequency, amplitude, oscillation, decibels?
17) How were Ipads used this week? Did they aid you in solving math problems or in your understanding of
music?
18) Which frequencies travel farther distances, higher or lower?
19) Which frequencies have shorter wavelengths?
20) Which activity did allowed you to learn the most and have the most fun?
If you have Mr. Wilson as a teacher you may turn in the same paper to both of us for a grade. The best way to type this paper would be on Google Docs so you need only share it with both of us.
1.What is sound and how does it travel? Sound is Energy and travels through air as a frequency.
ReplyDelete2.Which frequencies travel farther distances? Lower
3.Which frequencies have shorter wavelengths? Higher
4.Which activity did allowed you to learn the most and have the most fun? I had fun when we went outside and hit the drums.
5.When the volume of water in a glass is increased what happens to the pitch? The pitch raises higher.
20.) I HAD THE MOST FUN DOING THE OBLEK IT WAS FUN, AND IT WAS INTERESTING ACTUALLY GETTING TO SEE THE SOUND WAVES.
ReplyDelete3.)THE PITCH GETS HIGHER, AND WHEN OUR FINGERS SPIN ON IT FASTER THE SOUND INCREASES MORE
9.)THERE ARE 8 NOTES IN AN OCTAVE
17.)THE IPADS HELPED WITH MUSIC MORE BECAUSE WE FOUND OUT THE NOTE WE WERE PLAYING
13.)SOUND AND OOBLEK ARE TIED TOGETHER BECAUSE YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE SOUND WAVES TRAVELING THROUGH THE OOBLEK
5) Ampitheaters are circular because it helps the natural sound of the performer expand and reach every single person in the audience.
ReplyDelete14) I do not remember the name of the video, but the one that stood out the most to me was the Benjamin Franklin water glass video. I really enjoyed it a lot. It was very beautiful sounded so lovely. It showed how to make beautiful sounds by simply putting water in glasses.
3) When the volume of water increased the pitch got lower.
9) 8 notes are in an octave
1) An inverse relationship is when one thing goes down as the other goes up. Three examples that we used that were inverse is when the length went down and the pitch went up, when the frequency went up and the wavelength went down, and also when the water went up and the pitch went down.
