A tuba has a low pitch sound. Which sound wave would represent a tuba?
Which wave has a louder sound?
Which sound wave has the lowest pitch?
If you are playing outside and can hear a football game a few blocks away, how can you explain this?
The sound is traveling through the people at the game.
The sound vibrations are traveling from the speakers, through the air, to your ears.
You can not explain this.
The sound vibrations are not able to travel that far.
What could happen to a glass that is placed next to a speaker with the volume turned up, at a very high pitch?
The glass will only shake.
The glass will fall over because the vibrations push through the air.
Nothing will happen to the glass.
The glass will shatter or break because the vibrations push through the air and push on the glass, breaking it.
Is it possible to hear a sound in outer space?
No, because there is no air for the vibrations to travel through.
No, because it is too far away.
Yes, because sound travels through the air.
Yes, because you can hear it if you listen closely.

What substance would sound waves travel fastest through?
soda
bricks

Jennie’s class has a small tuning fork, a medium tuning fork, and a large tuning fork. Their teacher tells them to strike the tuning fork and place the fork in a bowl of water. They observe the pitch created and measure the vibrations of the tuning fork in Hertz.
The size of the tuning fork affects the volume of a sound.
Higher pitches produce more vibrations
Lower pitches produce more vibrations
Larger objects produce more vibrations
