Chapter 4: How Noisy Is Sound? Science Building on Science
What started as a classroom disturbance grew into an extended set of investigations into the concepts of noise and sound, and how they affected students in a real and personal way.
"It just happened that one morning when my students were quietly working on a writing assignment, they were disturbed by the loud sounds of tree trimmers outside our classroom. Many of the students became agitated and made comments about how it was affecting their concentration. I knew this was an opportunity to address the science of sound in a way that was initiated by the students’ own interest."
