the answers in each question written in the activity
cards.
b. Teacher additional input

The way light bounces of mirrors is very much like the way a
ball bounces on hard smooth surfaces. You can throw a ball
at an angle and it will bounce off the floor at the same
angle away from you. Light reflects the same way off a
mirror. Light reflects from a mirror at the angle as it
arrives. Above, you can see light reflecting off a mirror.
The angle of the incoming light reflecting off a mirror. The
angle of the incoming light and the reflected light rays are
the same.

d. What are the ways to produce a sound?
4. Generalization
1. When objects move backward and forward very fast they
vibrate.
2. The rapid back and forth movement of objects is called
vibration. A vibrating object produces sound.
3. There are many ways of producing sounds like plucking,
tapping, drumming, strumming, talking, humming,
shouting, etc.
5. Application
a. Read the group of words. Tap the desk thrice if sound
is produced. Wave your both hands if sound is not
produced.
______ 1. Plucking of the strings

ACTIVITY
Get: a sound box, a block of wood, tuning fork,
sponge, and spoon
Do:
1. Pluck the string of the sound box gently.
2. Observe how the strings vibrate.
3. Pluck the strings harder.
4. Observe the difference in loudness
5. Top the tuning fork on a wooden block.
6. Listen to the tuning fork.
7. Top the tuning for again and gently hold its
base into the different objects one at a time.
8. Compare the clarity of the sound you heard.
Answer:
1. What part of the sound box vibrate when you
plucked the string?
2. What did you notice when you plucked the string
harder?
3. What happened when you top the tuning fork
gently?
4. How did you work with the group?
3. Generalization
1. What sound is produced when the vibration is hard or
great?
2. What sound is produced when the vibration is low or
less?
Concept:
1. Loud sound is produced when the vibration is hard
strong and great.
2. Soft sound is produced when the vibration is slow or
less.
4. Application
With the use of your desktop, drum, whistle and bell
demonstrate how to produce loud and soft sound.
Write L if the sound produced is loud and S if it is soft.
______ 1. Whisper
______ 2. Fireworks
______ 3. Roar of thunder
______ 4. Bomb explosion
______ 5. Ticking of a clock
Assignment
1. Think of the sounds around you. Which sounds are loud
enough to annoy you? Which sounds make you want to cover
your ears?
2. You know that loud sounds are made by stronger vibrations
than soft sounds. The strengths of sounds are compared in
this chart.

How can you make high and low sounds?
Find out in our activity
2. Presentation
Activity
Materials : wooden pencil,
eight drinking glasses/bottles
of the same size with different
amount of water

Procedure:
1. Put the eight glasses on the table.

2. Strike each glass gently with a wooded pencil.

Listen carefully to each sound produced. What
do you observe? Do they all make a note of the
same pitch?
3. Discussion/Analysis
We can tell the difference between sounds by
listening carefully to whether it is a high or low
sound.
A low note has a low pitch.
A high note has a high pitch.
The pitch of a sound is the lowness or highness of
a sound. It is possible for a sound to be loud and high
or loud and low. A sound can be soft and high of soft
and low.
4. Generalization
1. What happens when an object vibrates slowly?
2. What happens when an object vibrates faster?
3. Does the pitch depend on the loudness of a sound?

1. When an object vibrates slowly, the pitch of the

sound is low.
2. When an object vibrates faster, the pitch becomes
higher?
3. The pitch depends on the speed of the vibration.
5. Application
Can you tell why an ambulance, police car and fire
alarm have high-pitched sounds?
