Sound Explanation

If we had no sound in the world then we wouldn’t be able to listen to amazing music that people have made. I wouldn't be able to live if there was no music because my life would be less FUN. But how does sound work ?

Sound can be made by the vibrating of the object.Sound vibrates the air molecules which vibrates your ear drum that converts to electrical signals. The sound goes through your ears hits straight to your brain. Sound can be made by the vibrating of the object. For example as you hit the drum with drumsticks the sound of that object will reflex the skin of the drums which vibrates up and down.

Sound is also different because they have different beats to each other and they also sound different. Some sound have high and low pitch sound and if the high pitch is high then it vibrates fast but if it is low it take it times.

Term 2 Week 2 Quiz.

Breaking news I have just heard that in Africa there are about 234 girls missing from their homes. Their Mums would wonder where they are because they wouldn’t return home from school. These girls have been taken from school during their breaks through school.

The girls that have been kidnapped from school have been paraded on video. The  Islamic militant group Boko Haram said if they want them to release the girls that they have taken and kidnapped have to accepted Islam or they will be treated as the prophet. The girls have been treated infidels and they will have to stay with Islamic militant group Boko Haram.

How does echolocation work?.

Echolocation is the way different animals use sound waves that rebound off the objects around them. They use echolocations so they know where they are going or navigate and also know how to locate food. Bats use echolocation at night so they know if they are going to hit something of not. They emit high pitch sound which are more than 20 000 herzt.

Bats are mammals and they use echolocation at night as they are flying around or looking for prey. Bats makes noises and there noises rebound off whatever is around them back to to the bats, So the bats know if they're going to hit something or not. Bats make noises so they can get to where they need or so they can find their family.

Echolocation works by noises that people make. Ben can’t see but he can hear what is happening around him and also what is in front of him. He makes noises from his mouth  so he knows what is in front of him and what is not. When you make noises it rebounds from off whatever is around you.

After watching the video about a boy who can see with no eyes i thought to myself “if I close my eyes and makes noises will be rebound off the wall ” ? Ben is just like us but he just doesn’t have eyes to see where he is heading to. I never knew echolocation could help people that a blind and get them around place’s.

As we sat down in the hall Mr Burt welcomed us back to school and then we had team items to watch. First up was team 1 and in the holidays all the teachers in team one went to the zoo and took pictures of what they saw.  They saw where the hippos go sleep where the elephants live and also they saw that a lot of people enjoyed the zoo. This term team 1 will be looking at animals and writing about them.

After that came team 2. Team 2 told us about light and what lights also does ?. It is pretty interesting because if there is all sorts of different colour light. One of the teachers asked us if we know what colour is an banana in the dark?. So I wonder what light it would be ? hmmm....
