 LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
SCIENCE 4
Quarter 3 Week 7

a. Most Essential Learning Competency

Investigate properties and characteristics of light. S4FE-IIIh-5

b. Objective
At the end of this learning activity sheet, you should be able to:
✓ Investigate the properties and characteristics of sound.

The loudness of 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 the
energy source of the sound, you can have varying degrees of loudness.

PRACTICE TASKS

PRACTICE TASK 1:
Directions: Write Fact on the space provided if the statement is correct and
Bluff if it is not. Write your answers on the worksheet provided.

1. Sound is a type of energy made by vibrations.

2. The movement of sound is called sound waves.
3. Sound is heard louder if we are near the source.
4. The loudness or softness of sound is called volume.
5. The sound wave that bounces back is called loud sound
6. Radar uses a compass to locate the other ships and the sea floor.
7. If sound hits a hard and smooth surface, the wave is absorbed.
8. Animals transmit sound waves to locate objects, and this is called
echolocation.
9. Sound increases intensity as it spreads outward in all directions from the
source.
10. Noise is any undesirable sound which disturbs the activities of human or
animal life.

 PRACTICE TASK 2:
Activity 1: PROPERTIES OF SOUND

Materials:
2 pieces of stones
basin
water
Procedure:
1. Place some water in a basin.
2. Let your family member produce sound by striking the two stones while
submerged in the basin with water. Listen to the sound produced while you
are standing in front of the basin of water.
3. Do step 2 again but this time place your ear near the side of the basin. Listen
to the sound produced.
4. Put a check on the following based on your observation. Answer the
following analysis questions after the activity. Do this on your worksheet.

Listening above the water Listening on the side of

the basin
Louder
Softer

Analysis Questions 1:
1. In which set-up do you hear a louder sound? A fainter sound?
2. Through which material did the sound travel when you listened above the
water? In what state of matter do they belong?
3. Through which materials did the sound travel when you listened on the side
of the basin? In what state of matter do they belong?
4. Where was the sound heard louder?

PRACTICE TASK 3:
Directions: Write T if the statement is correct and F if it is false. Write your
answers on the worksheet provided.
1. The siren of an ambulance helps tell that there is an
emergency.
2. Too much exposure to noise can harm our ears.
3. A loud sound is a pleasant sound for a sleeping baby.
4. Cover our ears whenever we hear a loud sound.
5. The soft or moderate sound of music is pleasant to the ears.

Directions: Based on the activities, answer the following questions on your

worksheet.
1. What is the volume of sound?
2. How is sound produced?
3. What do you need to apply in order to produce a louder sound? Softer
sound?
4. When does sound become a noise?
5. How does distance from the source of sound affect the loudness or softness
of sound?
6. What is an echo?

 REMEMBER:
Characteristics of Sound

A sound wave travels at different speed through

different media. As it travels, it often bumps into
objects it encounters. If it hits a hard and smooth
surface, the wave reflects. The sound wave that
bounces back is called an echo. We cannot hear
echo if we are too close to a big hard wall. The
sound wave bounces back very fast and mixes with
the original sound. We cannot tell which is the
original sound and the echo. Also, we do not hear
echoes if the original sound is too weak, the surface
absorbs the sound, and the reflecting surface is too small.
Sound is helpful to some animals.
Bats use it in locating their food and
determining their direction. They transmit
sound waves to locate objects, and this
is called echolocation. Whales also use
echoes to move and find their way
through the murky depths of the deep
ocean. They use it to know how far an
object is, their texture, shape and size. The study of echoes is very important in
navigation. Radar uses echolocation to locate the other ships and the sea floor.

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 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. A 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 our
homes contribute to the production of a noise when
we talk altogether at the same time.

ASSESSMENT
A. Directions: Read the following questions carefully. Write the letter of the
correct answer on your worksheet.

1. Why does sound become weaker or fainter as it moves away from the
observer?
a. The sound is lowered by the operator.
b. The sound spreads to cover a small area
c. The sound spreads to cover a large area.
d. The sound is already absorbed by the environment.

3
 2. You are standing 5 meters from your teacher. She called your name and you
immediately responded. Why?
a. Because sound travels in solids
b. Because sound travels in liquids
c. Because sound travels in air
d. Because sound travels in a vacuum
3. Which of the following statements about sound is correct?
a. Sound cannot travel through a solid
b. Sound travels faster in air than in liquids
c. Sound travels slower in air than in liquids and solids.
d. The travel of sound is not affected by the medium through which it
travels.
4. Why is the sound of a fire truck seems fainter at first and becomes louder as
it reaches you and then slowly gets fainter as it moves away from you?
a. This is because of the distance of the firetruck from you.
b. This is because of the medium in which sound travels.
c. This is because of the nature of the material.
d. None of these.
5. In which setup will you hear a louder sound?
a. Your classmate talking 2 meters from you.
b. Your classmate talking 15 meters from you.
c. Your classmate talking 10 meters from you.
d. Your classmate talking 20 meters from you.

B. Directions: Write TRUE on the space provided if the statement is correct and
FALSE if it is not.

1. Only animals can use echolocation.

2. The sea floor is mapped using echolocation.
3. Echo is the sound that is reflected to its source.
4. Bats and dolphins use echolocation to locate their food and determine their
direction.
5. Some individuals have developed to use echolocation and thus be able to see
even if they are blind.
