Sound

Pitch

The longer the vibrating object the LOWER the note

Think of a big bear with a deep growl

If the string on an instrument is looser it will have a lower pitch of note

The shorter the vibrating object the HIGHER the Note

Think of a small dog with a squeaky bark

The tighter the string on an instrument the highter the pitch of note

This is how HIGH or how LOW a note is

Vibration

The more energy (the harder you hit something) in the vibration the louder the sound

Its measure in decibals

We hear sounds when vibrating air hits our ear drums

The vibration is then picked up by our brain.

Sounds are transmitted (travel) through air or other materials

Sound cannot travel through a vacuum

Sounds can travel through brick, glass and even WATER!

Sounds happen when something vibrates

We don't always see the vibration

Sound has to travel through something
