Selected Standards and Benchmarks Table^ Standard
Grade K-2 Benchmarks
Grade 3-5 Benchmarks
Grades 6-8 Benchmarks
U.S. National Science Standard 12: Understands motion and theprinciples that explain it
- Knows that vibrating objectsproduce sound
- Knows that the pitch of asound depends on thefrequency of the vibrationproducing it.
Michigan Standards
, Science Waves and VibrationsAll students will describe soundsand sound waves:
- Describe sounds in terms of their properties.^ Key concepts:
Properties: pitch high, low. Loudness loud, soft. Real-world contexts:
Sound from common sources, such as musical instruments, radio, television, animal sounds, thunder, human voices. • Explain how sounds are made. Key concepts:
Vibrations fast, slow, large, small. Real-world contexts:
Sounds from common sources, such as musical instruments, radio, television, animal sounds, thunder, human voices.
U.K. National Curriculum Physical Processes Strand,Summary of Objectives for KeyStages for:Sound and Hearing
- Knows that there are manykinds of sources of sound
- Knows that sounds are madewhen objects [
for example, strings on musical instruments
]
vibrate but that vibrations arenot always directly visible• Knows how to change thepitch and loudness of soundsproduced by some vibratingobjects [ for example, a drum skin,a plucked string
]
- Knows that vibrations fromsound sources require amedium [
for example, metal, wood, glass, air
] through which to travel to the ear.
- Knows the relationshipbetween the pitch of a soundand the frequency of thevibration causing it.
Compilations, based partially onU.K. & U.S. standards
- Knows that the vocal chordsare one example of a source ofsound.
- Knows that sounds are heardwhen they are received at theear, enter the ear canal andvibrate the ear drum.
