Connecting Graphical Representations to the Sounds Made
Students constructing an argument using evidence from graphs to support an explanation for which patterns of frequency and amplitude of a wave are related to sounds that we can hear.
What to do
Connecting Graphical Representations to the Sounds Made provides a great opportunity for students to gain further practice in constructing an argument using evidence from graphs to support an explanation for which patterns of frequency and amplitude of a wave are related to sounds that we can hear. This practice contains scaffolding for the elements of their argument and can provide some just-in- time formative information before the independent assessment they take on day 2 of this lesson. If students struggle supporting their claims with evidence, have them look back to the data they collected in Lessons 4, 5, and 6 or their Progress Trackers.
