5e's Lesson Plan in Science 7
2. Loudness- is how soft or how intense the sound is as perceived by the ear and interpreted by the
Brain.
- Can be determined by the amplitude – height of the wave and it tells us the amount of
Energy that a wave carries
*High amplitude sounds usually carry large energy and have a higher intensity while
low amplitude sound carries a little amount of energy and have lower intensity.
Q. Observe the following sound waves. Which sound waves do you think is more pleasant to the
Ears.
A. Picture b. Correct, since it has lower amplitude. Therefore it has lower intensity. The sound
that is produced is softer as compared to sound waves in picture a.
Sound intensity is measured by various instruments like a oscilloscope-
Unit of intensity level for sound is decibel. Named after Alexander Graham Bell- who invented
The telephone that human ears can withstand sound intensity levels from 0 decibels – 120
decibels.
Loudness is also considered as a psychological sensation that differs from different people you may
consider pock music as a soft sound while your father may consider it as a loud sound. Your father
may even interpret the sound as distorted sound which is known as noise.
Noise- is a wave that is not pleasing to the senses that is contrast with music which is a special
sound. That forms a pattern and is appealing to our sense of hearing.
4. Timbre or tone quality – used in differentiating two different sounds that have the pitch and
loudness.
- It is how we identify the difference between the quality of tone of one instrument from one
another.
For example: Flute and guitar are playing the same note, the pitch may be the same but the
number of each sound is very different. These two instruments produce different sounds eve
if they are playing the same note. The tone quality depends on the wave form of sound wave.
That’s the end of our discussion for sound. In our next lesson we are going to study the
characteristics of life.
Grade Level: 7th Grade Competency: Describe how organisms produce, transmit, and receive sound
of various frequencies (infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic sound)
Lesson Title: The Science of Sound: Organisms and Frequencies
Overview and Purpose: This lesson will explore the science of sound and how organisms produce,
transmit, and receive sound waves of different frequencies. Students will learn about the anatomy
of the ear, sound waves, and the properties of sound. They will also explore how different organisms
use sound for communication and survival. Through this lesson, students will develop an
understanding of the physical properties of sound and how it is used in nature.
Learning Objectives: By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
Identify the parts of the ear and their functions
Define and differentiate between infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic sound
Explain how sound waves are produced, transmitted, and received
Describe how different organisms use sound for communication and survival
Demonstrate an understanding of the properties of sound
Materials Needed:
Diagram of the ear
Sound wave demonstration materials (such as a slinky or a tuning fork)
Audio recordings of different frequencies (infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic)
Pictures and videos of animals that use sound for communication and survival
Worksheets and writing materials
Engage (15 minutes):
Begin the lesson by asking students what they know about sound. Write down their
responses on the board.
Show students a diagram of the ear and ask them to identify the different parts.
Play a brief audio clip of different frequencies (infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic) and ask
students if they can hear it. Discuss their responses and explain the difference between the
three frequencies.
Explore (25 minutes):
Demonstrate how sound waves work by using a slinky or a tuning fork. Show how sound
waves are created and how they travel through different mediums.
Play different audio recordings of infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic sounds and ask
students to identify which frequency they are hearing. Discuss the properties of each
frequency and how they differ from one another.
Show pictures and videos of animals that use sound for communication and survival. Ask
students to identify how these animals are using sound and why it is important for their
survival.
Explain (20 minutes):
Review the anatomy of the ear and how it receives and transmits sound waves.
Discuss how different organisms use sound for communication and survival. Explain how
sound waves can be used for echolocation, mating calls, and predator avoidance.
Define and differentiate between infrasonic, audible, and ultrasonic sound. Explain the
properties of each frequency and how they relate to the human ear.
Elaborate (20 minutes):
Give students a worksheet where they can identify different animals and their use of sound
for communication and survival. Ask them to describe the properties of the sound waves
produced by these animals.
Play an audio recording of a sound that is not audible to the human ear (such as a dog
whistle) and ask students to describe what they are hearing. Discuss the properties of
ultrasonic sound waves and their uses.
Evaluate (20 minutes):
Have students write a short paragraph explaining how sound waves are produced,
transmitted, and received. They should also include examples of organisms that use sound
for communication and survival.
Collect their paragraphs and assess their understanding of the concepts taught in the lesson.
Extension:
Have students research a specific animal that uses sound for communication and survival.
They should create a presentation that includes information about the animal's anatomy,
sound production, and the properties of its sound waves.
