Today, I found many sources. I got very carried away and had to slow down, but in the end, I decided to sit down and read an incredibly long but helpful article from World Book Student. To link to this article click here. My first goal in reading this article was to find my first question: "How are sound waves created?" In the first ten paragraphs, my question is answered in deep detail relating to different objects such as humans, animals, music, and such. Basically, whether relating to an animal or an instrument, sound waves are vibrations. The vibrations vibrate everything around the object, which cause waves. The waves travel and travel and eventually die off. But not before vibrating our eardrum, causing us to hear. A big thanks to World Book Student, their endless pages of sound information will help my project to be thorough and detailed. Today's work cited:

Ean - Keep up the good work! I think you were wise to stop and read before you found more sources. The information you learn will help you search more intelligently and efficiently. I'm anxious to find out what you discover in the books you got from the library.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mrs. Doherty! I can always count on you to give some positive feedback and constructive criticism. I'm excited about the books, too, but I have to take my time or I will become overloaded. I am enjoying this project so far and I'm anticipating where this topic will take me. Thanks, Ean
