What two numbers are used in binary codes? 

0 and 1

What is Miss Sierra and Ms. Quach's favorite colors?

Yellow and pink

200

What is the reason dolphin calves are able to hear their mother's call.

Signature whistles or loud amplitude

200

This controls the volume of a sound

Amplitude

200

Name two forms of human communication

semaphore, talking drums, digital devices, language, telegraph

200

Have a staring contest with the person to your right.

Nice job!

300

Sound waves can move through what types of material? 

Solids, Liquids, Air

300

What is one example of a pattern in sound? 

Up and down (waveforms) or side to side (colliding particles)
300

Name two jobs that use sound waves to help people

Sound engineers, Doctors, and Audiologists

300

Just like how a baby dolphin searches for its mother, try searching for Waldo! Go!

You found him!

400

What kinds of patterns do dolphins use to communicate? Make your best dolphin sound!

Signature whistles, patterns of pitch changes

400

A short ____ makes a low pitch and a long _____ makes a high pitch. Show us your dance moves!

long wavelength ->low pitch 

short wavelength -> high pitch

(Awesome dance moves) 

400

What were some ways that you communicated using code with your classmates? 

Code communicator SIM, Drawing on the grids to encode and decode using binary code, sending a image

400

Name 2 experiments that helped you understand how sound waves and patterns.

SIM, rope model, slinky model, chips model, binary codes, sending images, music, etc.

500

Using scientific language, explain how sound is different.

Sounds have different patterns of wavelength and ampitude. This can affect the volume, pitch, and even the sounds that the dolphins make. 

500
Explain the difference between encoding and decoding.

Encoding -> translating something familiar to a code

Decoding -> translating code to something familiar

500

Why is binary code useful for communicating across distances?

Binary code is simple, digital devices use binary code to send and receive information fast.
