Musician - Musicians write, record, and perform music. Sound is important in their jobs. Task: Sound is produced by the vibration of air blowing across the open holes of the straws. Create your own pan pipe and explore frequency. Aim: To investigate how the frequency of a sound can be varied. Steps:
Key words: Sound, Frequency, Vibration, Pitch, High, Low Equipment: Straw, Tape, Scissors Worksheet: https://www.twinkl.co.uk/resource/t2-s-761-new-activity-sheet-straw-pan-pipes-differentiated Background info: https://www.theschoolrun.com/what-is-sound Questions: •Explain how you created your pan pipes so that they can play sounds of different pitches •Did the shorter straw have a high or low pitch? •Why do you think this is? What’s happening? Sound is produced by the vibration of air blowing across the open holes of the straws. Air blowing through a shorter straw moves quickly in one end and out the other. These vibrations move quickly and have a high frequency, which produces a high pitch. So the faster the vibrations, the higher the pitch / sound. |
