Some humorous dialogues this morning for this picture:
Reading
Today we started our unit on Adventure. Do you remember the four characteristics of adventure stories?
Science
Today we did a few investigations looking at how to change the PITCH. Pitch is how high or low a sound is. Do not confuse pitch with volume (loud or soft)
You should have made the following conclusions:
The faster you strum the comb the ________ the pitch.
The tighter the elastic the _______ the pitch.
The thinner the elastic the _________ the pitch.
The shorter the elastic the ________ the pitch.
The fatter the elastic the _________ the pitch.
The faster an object vibrates the _______ the pitch.
The speed that something vibrates is called the FREQUENCY. High frequency sound waves mean higher pitch.
Reminder:
Track and Field Try-Outs are scheduled for tomorrow. Even if the forecast is warm, please dress in layers. We will be trying out in the morning and the open field in the schoolyard is quite windy and cold. Shorts and t-shirts underneath, sweats and windbreakers / jackets on top.
