Homework

November 23, 2009

• Today we experimented with tuning forks, their vibrations and how the sound travels faster in water.
• In class we began Section 2 - Properties of Sound - pages 650 -655. Students answered the questions and fill in the blanks of the workbook pages 297, 298 and 299.
• Read these pages carefully.
• Finish the assignment for homework.

November 19, 2009

• We worked on Section 1 of Chapter 18. Students have to finish their workbook pages 293-295 - "The Nature of Sound". This is due tomorrow.

November 16-18, 2009

• We have begun Chapter 18 - "Sound" unit. The students had a chance to learn more about the history of one of the wind instrument family members - the kazoo. Each received one to keep and practice and play at home. Today 6 Rusch reviewed with me Section 1 of Chapter 18. My homeroom (6 Mode) learned the kazoo.
