Topic: identification of sound

When something makes a sound, it creates vibrations that passes through the
air and reach our ears. Our ears pick up these vibrations and send them to our
brains, which interpret them as sound. That's why we can hear different things
like the chirping of birds, the ringing of a bell, or someone talking or singing.

What is Sound?

Topic: sound
Sound is a form of energy that can be produced and heard.

It is made by the vibration of an object and the vibration moves through the

air and reach our ear.

The properties of sound are the physical properties of music that makes up

sound e.g Pitch. Duration, Intensity, Timbre

Week 3.

Topic: The properties of sound

1. Pitch: This tells us if a sound is high or low. For example, a whistle has a high

pitch, and a drum has a low pitch.

2. Duration: This is about how long a sound lasts. For example, a bell might ring

for a short time, while a song might go on for a long time.

3. Intensity: This is how loud or soft a sound is. For example, a big truck is very

loud, but a whisper is very soft.

4. Timbre: This helps us tell different sounds apart. For example, a violin sounds

different from a piano even if they play the same note.

Week 4
