FOSS AND NATIONAL STANDARDS
The Physics of Sound Module emphasizes the
development of observation and description skills and building
explanations based on experience. This module supports the
following National Science Education Standards.
SCIENCE AS INQUIRY
Develop students' abilities to do and understand scientific
inquiry.
- Ask and answer questions.
- Plan and conduct simple investigations.
- Employ tools to gather data.
- Use data to construct reasonable explanations.
- Communicate investigations and explanations.
- Understand that scientists use different kinds of investigations
and tools to develop explanations using evidence and knowledge.
CONTENT: PHYSICAL SCIENCE
Develop students' understanding of the physics of sound.
- Sound is produced by vibrating objects. Changing the rate
of vibration varies the pitch of the sound.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Develop students’ abilities in technological design.
- Identify a simple problem and propose a solution.
- Evaluate a product or design.
- Communicate a problem, design, and solution.
Develop students’ understandings about science and
technology.
- Scientists work collaboratively in teams and use tools
and scientific techniques to make better observations.
HISTORY OF SCIENCE
Develop an understanding of science as a human endeavor.
- Science and technology have been practiced by people
for a long time.
