Science/Making waves

This week we have been learning about transverse waves and they work. We tested our hearing by listening to a video who made a noise that went louder and louder to see how good our hearing is. We also used this equipment which is called tuning fork. We banged the table with the tuning fork and put the equipment next to our ear and see if we could hear anything.

Aim: To test my hearing

Materials/Equipment

Tuning fork
Steps

Get a tuning fork
Bang it on anything that is metal
Test your hearing

Method:

1. Listen to the sound test YouTube/device
2. Record what my hearing level is

My findings:

Better than advrage

A.Crest

B.Wave

C.Amplitude

D.Trough

Longitudinal

Waves, transfer energy from one to another

Wave motions:.
Waves are produced as a result of vibrations, and can be classified
as transverse or longitudinal. Whether they are transverse or Longitudinal, depends upon how the particles are made to vibrate, as the energy passes.

Example of Longitudinal waves Sound:

When a drum is struck, the drums can vibrate, which causes the air particles next to it, to vibrate.
The vibrating air speeds away from the source, creating a sound wave.

Research:
In a transverse wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel. Transverse waves are characterised by peaks and valleys, called crests and troughs. In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium move parallel to the wave's direction of travel.

Power to the people/Prime minister/Jenny Shipley

Throughout the past week we have been doing Power to the People for our hurumanu. There are task set up for us to do. One of the tasks are prime minister and what we know about them. Also we have to research about them and find facts about them. I choose Jenny Shipley because I have never heard about her or seen her anywhere. Also I choose this very good lady because, in my opinion, she is a very goo leader and a very trustful prime minister
