Science 8 - Q1 - DW8

The document describes 3 activities where students explore how temperature affects the speed of sound by striking glasses of water at different temperatures and analyzing a graph showing the relationship between temperature and speed of sound. The activities aim to teach students that sound travels faster in materials at higher temperatures because the increased thermal energy causes molecules to vibrate and collide more frequently.

ACTIVITY 1: Hot and Cold, Fast or Slow

Learning Competency: Differentiate the medium used for sound to travel in terms
of the movement of particles as sound passes through (S8FE-le-24.1)

Objective: At the end of the activity you should be able to explain how temperature affects
the speed of sound.

Materials: glass with hot water, glass with warm water, glass with cold water,

metal spoon handle

Procedure:

1. Pour hot water (be careful) in a glass. Place the glass with hot water, glass with cold
water and glass with tap water side by side.
2. Check the water level on the 3 identical glasses. The water level must be the same.
3. Strike the 3 glasses one after the other using the handle of the metal spoon. Listen
to the sound produced. Repeat with at least 3 trials.
4. Fill up the table below: Describe the pitch using (low, high and higher) describe the
speed of sound using (slow, fast, faster)

Data and Results:

Temperature Pitch Speed of Sound

Activity 3: Smiley, Show me the Concepts!

Learning Competency: Compare the speed of sound in different media.


S8FE-le-24.2
Objectives: At the end of the activity you should be able to formulate concepts about the
effects of temperature to the speed of sound.

Procedure:

Think of the terms that are hidden by the smiley symbol to complete the
following concepts:

1. The of the material affects the speed of the sound.

2. Molecules move in warmer substances. As a substance


heats up, its molecules move faster, so they more
frequently.

3. Sound travels faster in temperatures. The more frequent the


collisions are, the the speed of sound is in the material.

4. For a given , sound waves travel more slowly at


temperatures.

Closure: How is the speed of sound affected during day time and night time?
