Raeleen Sound: What can I hear?

Sound: What can I hear?

Team 5’s Inquiry focus this term is about Physics and the Science of ‘Sound’.

This week you are going to write an explanation about the different types of sounds that you can hear in your environment.

Think about the sounds that surround you - at home, at school, outside.

What types of sounds can you hear? Where do they come from? Use the table to help you organise your ideas:

	Home	School	Outside	Other
What types of sounds can you hear?	e.g. phone ringing People snoring because when they snore it is so loud and it sometimes wakes people up. Brother sinning because he really can’t sing and even though he tries he still can’’t sing.	e.g. people talking People Arguing because they might did something bad or just having problems with each other. Whistle blowing	e.g. children laughing Car starting because in the middle of the night they turn on their car and it squeaks and it wakes me up.	e.g. cars Road Workers because they have these banging and clashing sounds and it is really loud and it sometimes disburse me when i’m doing my homework.
Which sounds do you like listening to? Why?	I like listening to the radio because I love music and I also like watching TV because some TV channels is funny and I love funny stuff.	I like listening to the teacher so I know what to do and also knowing what's going to happen next. I like going to assembly because sometimes we get to watch some video clip and getting awards.	I like listening to kids singing because they have really good voices and I also like the bird tweeting because it is a really peaceful sound.	I like listening to the birds tweeting because it is a nice sound for me to relax when I’ve been slightly angry and it is a really cool noise.
What sounds are annoying? Why?	People snoring because they might have a blocked up nostrils or they might not feel comfortable	People yelling and shouting at each other because they might did something wrong.	A car starting because some cars when it starts it has a squeaking noise and that is very annoying	Cars beeping and people yelling at each other when they are in a traffic jam.

Finally, think about what your world would be like if you didn’t have sound. What would it be like if you couldn’t hear a single thing, or if you had to live in absolute silence? What do you think it would be like?

I think living in a world with no noise or sound is boring because the world needs sound so other people knows what coming up on the news and with no sound how would people listen to music or watch TV to keep then entertained. If I have to live in a life with absolute silence I will hate my life because silence is boring loud is fun and without sound in the world how will people communicate with others, how would they know what coming up in the world. But I think no sound means no life because sound is in you and if sound is not around what’s left in you.

Raeleen The call of the conch

REMEMBERING - What are the facts

1. Make a list of the events where the conch shell is blown.

2. Why did Iakina bury the conch shell in the sand?

        Where the conch shell is blown:

1.

* At a arrival of important guests at ceremonies.

* It is used at the beginning of a sport events, weddings, fiafia or other special occasions and evening prayer time.

* Bringing chiefs together, orators and villagers united in the same spirit.

         Why did lakina bury the conch shell in the sand?

2.

* He buried it in the sand so the ants and other insects can remove any traces of rotten flesh.

UNDERSTANDING - Show that you understand the information

3. Choose 5 words from the article that are new, difficult or interesting to you.

Write down a dictionary definition for each word and then use each word in a sentence to

show you understand the meaning.

1. Craggy coral - A rough shell

Iakina found a rough shell washed up on the reef. A conch shell is slightly like a craggy because it is hard.

2. Microbes - Germs

Iakina puts the conch shell in the sand because he doesn't want to be sick or have any diseases or germs.

3. Souvenir Shops - A shop that sells items to visitor to remember then about the country they visited.

A souvenir shop sells memorable things for visitors. Like when you visit Australia you would go to a souvenir shop to make you remember about Australia.

4. Ecosystem - Nature and living plants

A Ecosystem is nature and living plants, it makes trees make nice vase lands and outbacks.

5. Awareness campaigns - Private property

A private property means the no one can enter because it is private or the owner of the land doesn't want other people to enter. Some forest are private because they have dangerous animals and some people can die from private property.

APPLYING - Using what you read in the article

Design a poster for tourists to Samoa describing the use of the conch shell and what it means.

A poster should have an eye catching title, information in bullet points, and illu cvstrations

ANALYSING - Organising information from the article

Make a FLOW CHART titled The Call of the Conch to show the steps in making a conch.

This is a good activity to help you sort through and remember the information in an article.

CREATING - Coming up with new ideas

Design some other uses for conch shells both in the Pacific islands and here in New Zealand.

Use drawings and labels to explain your interesting ideas.

EVALUATING - Seeing both sides

“People should be allowed to use the conch shells for other things”

Make a chart and list your reasons for agreeing and disagreeing with this statement.

I agree with this statement because……..

A conch shell is well used for special equation and I think if a conch shell is not used their might be problem because heaps of people expect a conch welcoming. A conch is really memorable because some people haven't used or touched a conch shell before and some other people might remember the school by hearing a conch shell blow.

I disagree with this statement because……..

I don’t disagree with it because it may not seem fair because they might pick a person who has a conch shell at their house and they should pick someone who hasn't so they can have the opportunity to blow a conch shell.

A well written article should use some sort of hook to grab the reader’s attention, it should be

written in an interesting way, it should be well organised so that the reader knows where the

article is going, and it should wrap-up what has been said at the end.

Do you think this article was well written? Yes

Was there a hook in the introduction? Hook : Rate 1-10 Yes and I rate it 8\10

Was the information written in an interesting way? Writing style : Rate 1-10 Yes rate it out of 9\10

Was the information well organised in clear sections? Organisation : Rate 1-10 Yes rate it out of 10\10

Was there an effective conclusion? Wrap-up : Rate 1-10

Yes because it tells the reader some facts about Iakina and it also tells the reader about the conch shell and how it is used.

Give a reason for each of your ratings.

I gave it an 8\10 , 9\10 and 10\10 because it was a really good book and it can inspire some people to go and look for some conch shell.
