Objective: Give examples of loud and soft sounds

What’s New

Loud and Soft Sound

The softness and/or loudness of sound is called volume. If you control the volume of energy
source of the sound, you can have varying degree of loudness. The sounds that you hear may
vary in different ways. Some sounds may be too loud while others may be too soft. Sound is a
very important part of our life.

We wake up in the morning by hearing alarms, or the chirping of birds.

Let us now compare the sound produced when a person whispers into someone's ears and the
sound produced when the same person shouts for a friend across the playground.

You will notice that whispering makes a soft sound but shouting for a friend across a
playground makes a loud sound.

Loud Sounds

Soft Sounds

Sound is very important in our daily life. It helps us in communicating with people or
warning someone.
Sound is a form of energy which is produced by vibrating bodies. The volume of a sound
tells us how loud or soft a sound is.

PRACTICE EXERCISES 2: What Am I

Write LOUD if the object produces high volume and SOFT if the object produces low
volume. Also connect the object to its description in Column B

a. A vehicle carrying firefighters and

equipment for fighting large fires

b. used as a quiet signal of

agreement or appreciation

c. A clock with a device that can be

made to sound at the time set in
advance, used to wake someone up.

d. A large funnel-shaped device for

amplifying and directing the voice.

e. Emit a clear, high-pitched sound

by forcing breath through a small hole
between one's lips or teeth.

WhatI have
What I can learned
do
The loudness of a sound refers to how strong the sound seems to us when it reaches our
ears. The sound that you hear may vary in different ways. Some sounds maybe too loud
while others may be too soft. Some objects that produce loud sound are: ambulance, fire
truck, helicopter and police car. The application of a strong force causes a louder volume
of sound as in the case of the rumbling thunder. A lesser force makes a softer sound as
in the soft breeze of a fine day, birds chirping on the trees, wind chime, dripping faucet
and clock ticking. Other soft sound may not be loud enough to be heard by the human
EVALUATION
ear. Loud sounds may not be pleasing to the ears.

What Can I Do
Loud sounds are not pleasant to hear. How are you going to protect yourself from very
loud sounds?

Objective: Infer what happens to the volume of sound as one moves away from
the sound source

What’s New?

A B

What could you infer from the picture above? What can you
say about the sound of the vehicle when you are moving away
from it?

Can you hear the sound?

What you need:

Cellphone with downloaded music FOR EXERCISE 1: pls
observation sheet
What to do:
1.Place the cellphone besides your tv or in any area of your house.
2. Play the music in your cellphone. Set the volume to a level loud enough to be heard by you
when you are 1 meter away from it. Copy on your Science notebook the data table shown
below. Use a scale of 1-5. (1 being the softest and 5 being the loudest.)
Distance (Meters) Volume Scale( 1`-5)
1 meter
5 meters
10 meters
15 meters

Was the music loud enough to be heard at the starting distance? _____________

Were you still able to hear the sound clearly at the farthest distance you set? _________

What happens with the loudness of the music as you increase your distance away from the
source? _____________________________

If you continue to move away from the source of the music, will you able to hear it clearly and
loudly? ____________________________________

As we increase our distance from the source of sound the loudness decreases. If continue to
move away from it, we will not be able to hear it clearly and loudly. Loudness is a measure of
how strong a sound seems to us. If we apply greater force in an object, we produce loud sounds.
If we apply lesser force in an object we produce soft sounds.

If you are far from the source of the sound it will not sound as loud as if you were standing
nearer to it. The sound is heard louder if we are near the source and gradually fades or becomes
softer as we move away from it. The sound does not lose some of its energy as it travels through
the air. The energy just spreads out to cover a larger area like the ripples in a pond or river

This diagram represents just a small section of the total area of sound waves spreading out from a
source. Sound waves actually travel away from the source in all directions.

What I have learned

As we increase our distance from the source of sound the loudness decreases. If
continue to move away from it, we will not be able to hear it clearly and loudly. Loudness is
a measure of how strong a sound seems to us. If we apply greater force in an object, we
produce loud sounds. If we apply lesser force in an object we produce soft sounds.

If you are far from the source of the sound it will not sound as loud as if you were
standing nearer to it. The sound is heard louder if we are near the source and gradually
fades or becomes softer as we move away from it. The sound does not lose some of its
energy as it travels through the air. The energy just spreads out to cover a larger area like
the ripples in a pond or river.

What I Can Do
You are standing in a waiting shed when suddenly you hear a siren of the fire truck. The
sound seems to be fainter at first but as it approaches you, it becomes louder.

The fire truck passes by and as it moves away from you, the sound becomes weaker again
until you can no longer hear it. Why do fire trucks create loud sound?

MODULE IN SCIENCE 4
Third Quarter / Week 7/ Day 03

Hi there! I’m Teacher Cha and I’m here to help you learn in
today’s lesson. Our objective is to describe the sound that an
object produces. So, let’s have fun while exploring this module.

Sound is made up of vibrations, or sound waves, that we can hear.

These sound waves are formed by objects vibrating (shaking back and forth). Sound
waves travel through air, water, and solid objects as vibrations. When they reach our
ears, these waves make the delicate skin of the eardrums vibrate. The brain
recognizes these vibrations as sounds made by different things.

http://www.goldendance.co.jp/English/boneconduct/01.html

Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. When any objects vibrate, it

causes movement in the air particles. Theses particles bump into the particles close
to them, which makes them vibrate too causing them to bump into more air particles.
This movement, called sound waves, keeps going until they run out of energy. If your
ear is within range of the vibrations, you hear the sound. When the vibrations are
fast, you hear a loud sound. When the vibrations are slow, it creates a soft sound.

Picture a stone thrown into a still body of water or a drop of water was dropped into a still
basin filled with water. The rings of waves expand indefinitely until the water becomes calm
or still again. The same is true with sound. When the vibrations are fast, you hear a loud
sound. When the vibrations are slow, it creates a soft sound.

https://pixabay.com/photos/waves-circles-drop-of-water-wave-285359/

The loudness of a sound refers to how strong the sound seems to us when it reaches our
ears. Loud sound also means intense sound. Sound loses intensity as it spreads outward in
all directions from the source. So, the loudness of a sound decreases between a person and
the source of the sound.
The softness and/or loudness of sound is called volume. If you control the volume of
energy source of the sound, you can have varying degree of loudness.
Noise is any undesirable sound which disturbs the activities of human or animal life.
People react to sounds in different ways. Some sounds can distract us and break our
concentration. When this happens, the sound becomes unwanted noise. Often it is not the
pitch or the loudness that makes a sound annoying. Sometimes it is the repetitive nature of
the sound and our inability to control it that makes it annoying. Car blowing its horn and the
seemingly endless barking of a dog at night are good examples. We could also include that
we too in the classroom contribute to the production of a noise when we talk altogether at
the same time.

https://www.vectorstock.com/royalty-free-vector/noise-stress-swearing-protection-concept-vector-31253369

An echo is a sound that is repeated because the sound waves are reflected. Sound
waves can bounce off smooth, hard objects in the same way as a rubber ball bounces of the
ground. Although the direction of the sound changes, the echo sounds the same as the
original sound. Echoes can be heard in small spaces with hard walls, like wells, or where
there are lots of hard surfaces all around. That is why echoes can be heard in a canyon,
cave, or mountain range. But sounds are not always reflected. If they meet a soft surface,
such as a cushion, they will be absorbed and will not bounce back.

Very Good!! You passed all the challenges. You are the best!!
It is time now for you to remember the concept about the lesson for the day.

REMEMBER:
Sounds are created when an object vibrates. This creates
waves of energy that reach the listener’s ears.
The sounds that you hear may vary in different ways. Some
sounds may be too loud while others may be too soft. The volume of
a sound depends on the strength of a vibration. The application of a
stronger force causes a louder volume of sound as in the case of the
rumbling thunder. A lesser force makes a softer sound as in the soft
breeze of a fine day. Other soft sounds may not be loud enough to be
heard by the human ear. Loud sounds may not be pleasing to the ears.

_______________________________________________________________________________

APPLICATION:
The depth of the ocean can be measured using a device called SONAR (Sound Navigation
And Ranging). Sonar works by sending out sound waves and measuring how long it takes for the
echo to return. If the water is shallow, sound waves that reflect off the bottom of the ocean will return
faster than in deep sea. In deeper water, the sound waves take longer to travel to the bottom and
back. Ships and submarines also use sonar to navigate at sea.

How important is the use of SONAR for ships and

submarines?

Third Quarter / Week 7/ Day 04

Hi there! I’m Teacher Cha and I’m here to help you learn in
today’s lesson. Our objective is to enumerate ways to protect
oneself from excessive sound. So, let’s have fun while
exploring this module.

At a scientific level, sound and noise are technically the same - they are
vibrations in the air (or in water) that we pick up with our ears. The bigger the waves are
(their amplitude), the stronger the vibrations are, and the louder the sound is. However,
sound is something that we hear in general. Noise is something that we can hear, but don’t
necessarily want to hear.
Sound is measured in decibels (dB). Decibels are named after the one-and-
only Alexander Graham Bell, scientist and inventor of the telephone.

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Alexander_Graham_Bell_in_colors.jpg

In general, sound levels that are below 85 dB are safe. However, sound levels
that are 85 dB or more are considered dangerous. In fact, the louder the sound, the more
quickly it can cause permanent damage to your ears. For example, listening to a song at 85
dB for 8 hours will cause permanent damage. But listening to a song at 100 dB can cause
permanent damage within 15 minutes!

Imagine that you are studying in your room. Meanwhile, your neighbor’s dog
keeps barking. This makes it difficult to concentrate on your notes. After a while, it starts
getting on your nerves. You may think of the barking sound as noise. It’s really annoying, and
not something you want to hear while you try to study for your big test!

Excessive noise is not good for us. People who are exposed to loud noise for
long periods may suffer loss of hearing. It may be temporary or permanent.
Loud sounds coming from fire truck or ambulance sirens damage the ear even if
they are of short duration. Exposure to loud sounds or noise can cause a person tiredness,
headache, hearing loss, vomiting, irritability, and tension.
Based on the study, prolonged exposure to loud noise alters how the brain
processes speech, potentially increasing the difficulty in distinguishing speech sounds,
according to neuroscientists. Exposure to intensely loud sounds leads to permanent damage
of the hair cells, which act as sound receivers in the ear. Once damaged, the hair cells do not
grow back, leading to noise-induced hearing loss.

https://www.ameritasinsight.com/wellness/6-ways-reduce-tinnitus-ringing-ears

Here are some ways to avoid excessive noise:

 Avoid having too much noise in a room.
 Use soft materials to cover hard surfaces.
 You may hang soft curtains on the walls and the glass windows to absorb the loud
noise coming from the outside.
 You can put carpets on your floor to help absorb the noise inside the house.
 In some classroom and offices, noise absorbers may be fixed in the ceilings and walls.
These materials prevent the sound from bouncing back so much.
 People who are exposed to intense noise should wear ear protector to help prevent
hearing loss.
 Do not develop the habit of listening to loud music.
 You may ask a responsible adult to turn down the volume of a radio or TV when you
cannot do it.
 When using headphones, keep the volume set at 60 percent of maximum and take
periodic breaks to give your ears a rest.
 After prolonged exposure to loud noises, try to move to a quieter environment and rest
your ears for at least 12 to 16 hours.
 Move away from loud sounds when possible.
 Use hearing protection when you cannot avoid exposure to loud sounds.

EVALUATION:
Read and analyze the given article below. Enumerate the different ways on how to avoid
excessive noise that were mentioned in the article. Write your answers on the space provided.

Noise is any sound that the human ear finds unpleasing and disruptive to concentration. When
annoying sounds become noise, hazards are when that noise begins interfering with communication
and warning signals on the job and causes chronic health problems. These hazards occur when sounds
workers are exposed to are greater than 85 decibels, weighted over an eight-hour shift. To give you an
idea of what exactly 85 decibels is: the rustling of leaves is typically 10 decibels, a normal conversation
is between 50-60 decibels, a chainsaw or drill produces 110 decibels while a jet engine is near the top
of end of the scale producing about 140 decibels of sound.
To avoid these problems, we can do the following: you may hang soft curtains on the walls and
the glass windows to absorb the loud noise coming from the outside, you can put carpets on your floor
to help absorb the noise inside the house, do not develop the habit of listening to loud music, use
hearing protection when you cannot avoid exposure to loud sounds and move away from loud sounds
when possible.
Taking care of your ears is important in many ways. Ear care also include taking steps to avoid
unnecessary noise and watching for possible hearing loss.

Objective: Cite applications of the properties/characteristics of light, heat, and sound

(Performance Task)

Light travels in straight lines. Sometimes it bounces back into the

direction of the source. We call this reflection. Water, windows, shiny metal, and mirrors
are just some of the many objects that reflect light. As light travels, it travels in a straight
line. However, when light passes from one material into a second material like mirror or
water, the light path is either bent (refraction) or reflected.
Light is all around us. It not only lets us see in the dark, but the
properties of light are important to many aspects of our lives. Reflections in rear-view
mirrors of cars help to keep us safe. Refraction through lenses of eyeglasses or contact
lens’ helps some people see better.
White light has different colors which is the color of the rainbow. The
colors of the rainbow and all the other colors that we see around us are colors from the light
of the sun. a rainbow is formed when the light from the sun passes through raindrops. That
is why we see a rainbow after it has rained. A rainbow is the result of the sunlight breaking
into different colors.

Heat is an energy that can be transferred just like sound, light, and
electrical currents. We use heat in our everyday lives to cook food or warm our houses.
Heat travels from warm objects to cold objects.
Heat is energy that is transferred from one body to another because of
a difference in temperature. Heat is so well known from our earliest childhood that we hardly
think about it. A steaming bowl of soup, an active radiator, and a sauna feel hot, a book and
a chocolate bar at room temperature seem less hot, and an ice cube feels cold. In everyday
speech it is common to say that the soup has more heat than the book and that the ice cube
has less heat than the chocolate bar. However, people often use the word heat when what
they really mean is temperature or a type of energy.

The transfer of heat through solid materials is called conduction. Conduction is the
heat transfer through a substance or from a substance to another by direct contact.
Convection is the transfer of heat from one place to another by movement of in fluids. Fluids
includes liquids and gases. Heat can also be transmitted across empty space or vacuum. This
is called radiation. Radiation does not depend on the presence of matter to transfer heat.

Sound is a vibration that travel through the air or another medium and can
be heard when they reach a person's or animal's ear. Sound waves are mechanical waves that
transfer energy via the propagation of vibrations through matter. Sound waves cannot move
through empty space (vacuum) where there is no matter to vibrate and pass the energy along.
When sound waves move through matter, the matter undergoes compression (the molecules
get closer to each other), followed by expansion (molecules move apart). Sound waves can
move through gases, liquids, and solids.
Properties of sound include speed, loudness, and pitch. The speed of
sound varies in different media. The loudness of sound depends on the intensity of sound
waves. The pitch of sound depends on the frequency of sound waves.

PRACTICE EXERCISE 1: TRUE or FALSE

Directions: Read each statement carefully. Write TRUE if the statement is correct and
FALSE if not. Write your answer on the space provided.

_____1. Light travels in straight lines.

_____2. Reflection is the bouncing back of light to its source.
_____3. The only application or use of light is to see us in the dark.

Amazing! You deserved a big round of applause for the

job well done. Now, let us see how good you are in our
next exercises.

PRACTICE EXERCISE 2: MATCHING TYPE

Directions: Match column A with the correct answer on column B.

A B
1. Energy that is transferred from one body to A. Sound
another because of a difference in temperature.
B. Light
2. The transfer of heat from one place to
another by movement of in fluids. C. Heat

3. The transfer of heat across empty space or D. Conduction

vacuum.
E. Convection
4. A vibration that travel through the air or
another medium and can be heard when they F. Radiation
reach a person’s or animal’s ear.
G. Loudness
5. Properties of sounds that depends on the
frequency of sound waves. H. Pitch

REMEMBER:

 Light, heat and sound are forms of energy, it can travel and be
transferred.
 Energy is important in everyday life.
 Energy can move from one object or material to another object or
material.
 Sounds are vibrations that we can hear and sometimes see and feel.
 Light must reflect off objects for us to see them.
 Shadows form when solid or opaque objects block light.
 Heated materials expand and rise, whereas removing heat causes
materials to contract or shrink, as seen in a thermometer.
