Sound



=**BENCHMARKS: What we will learn and be able to do:**=
 * 1) Demonstrate how sound can change in pitch and volume.
 * 2) Compare and contrast the change in length, tension, or thickness of a vibrating object on the frequency of vibration (e.g. string, wire, or rubber band)
 * 3) Demonstrate that the pitch of a sound is dependent on the frequency of the vibration producing it.



=**Essential Questions: To Guide Our Scientific Quest For Knowledge About Sound:**=
 * 1) How do we as scientists learn about sound?
 * 2) What is sound and why is it important?
 * 3) How do we hear sounds?
 * 4) How would our lives be different if we couldn't hear?
 * 5) Is sound more important to a bat than to me? Why or why not?
