Here are four different sounds. You can probably tell what they are.
For each sound, fill out a line in the chart below. Write down what makes the sound. Also write a description of the sound. Use words like loud, soft, harsh, gentle, squishy, sharp, buzzy.
| Sound # | What makes the sound | Description |
|---|---|---|

It's sometimes hard to describe sounds! One way to explore them more carefully is to display the sound vibrations on a graph, which is what you will do in this investigation.
