EXPLORATION Activity 1

Topic I chose to investigate: Sound Waves and Acoustics

Why I chose this topic. Be specific and relate it to yourself as much as possible (family,personal, community interest or connection to this topic):
I chose this topic because I have always taken an interest in sound, what sound is, and, more importantly, why sound exists. I also want to know how I can project my voice while on stage, and what acoustics are.

What I think already know about this topic:
• Acoustics are better (stronger) in a shower
• Sound waves cause noise
• The ear picks up vibrations from sound waves
• Certain grooves can carry acoustics
• Sound waves go off in all directions
Questions I want to find the answer to about this topic:
1. If a tree falls when no one is around to hear it, does it make a noise?
2. Why are acoustics better/stronger in a shower?
3. How can grooves carry acoustics throughout an auditorium?
4. How does a microphone work?
5. ON-STAGE: What is better: a microphone or projecting your voice?
