A Closer Look Record Sheet (BLM4-1)

(See Notes on Individual Systems on pages 85 & 86 in Teacher's Guide.)

Sound Starters and Evidence of Vibrations class charts (See Steps 6 & 7 on page 83 in teachers guide.)

A Closer Look Record Sheet
  • Do students use evidence to support the idea that the system vibrates?
  • Are students able to differentiate between "sound starters" (the force used to initiate the movement/vibration) and evidence of vibrations?

Sound Starters & Evidence of Vibrations Class Charts

  • During class discussion, do students use their evidence recorded on their sheets?
  • Do students' comments reveal an understanding that vibrations cause sound? (Students should understand this for at least the objects at stations 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8.)
