Claim, Evidence, Reasoning; 3
100+ dB and an extremely high pitch are needed to break this
What is Wine Glass
Sound requires this to travel

*(Also accept state of Matter)
Determined by the frequency of the wave
What is Pitch
The 3 main sections of the ear
What are Outer, Middle and Inner Ear
What is an easy way to write a claim?
Reword the question into the form of a sentence.
Sound can't travel in this
What is Space
What are the 3 main types of medium that sound can travel through?
What is solid, liquid, and gas
Where a sound is at rest; nothing is being produced
What is a Starting Position
Acts as a funnel to concentrate the sound waves toward your middle and inner ear. Contains the eardrum and the ear canal
What is Outer Ear
What is a claim?
It is a statement sentence/It is where the question is being answered.
The science of sound
*Hint: It's a type of guitar
What is Acoustics
A frequency of a wave is 366 waves/6 seconds, what is this frequency simplified?
*Must include unit
What is 61 waves/1 second (w/s, Hertz)
The distance from starting position to a peak or valley
What is Amplitude
Contains the cochlea
What is Inner Ear
What is the purpose of including evidence?
It supports your claim and makes your paragraph factual.
Hot air expanding fast enough to break the sound barrier
*Hint: Part of a storm
What is Thunder
Created when objects vibrate and travels through the condensing and spreading apart of particles
What are Sound Waves
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
What we look for on a wave to determine the type of frequency and type of amplitude
*Let me know which answer is for which word
What is Frequency: Spacing of Waves (how many there are in a period of time) and
Amplitude: Distance from starting position to peak/valley
Contains small bones, including the stapes
What is Middle Ear
What is the purpose of reasoning?
It is your explanation ("why") that your evidence supports your claim.
