1Ms. Beth's Sound Web Jog!
Welcome! This is a "Web-jog", which is a website that takes you on a journey to other websites.
The websites you will jog to on Ms. Beth's Sound Web Jog give you more information and video demonstrations of the principles of Sound that I am introducing in class this semester. Each title corresponds with a lesson I will be giving with that title. If a title has more than one jog associated with it (jog #1, jog #2), you should do them all after having that lesson.
Look at the left side of the screen. There you will see the list of "jogs". Each one will take you to a different website. Some have activities. Some have videos. Some have links to other Sound sites. Some have written information and pictures.
Before you begin doing anything on the page, please look up to the top. There you will see my directions for what you are to concentrate on. Sometimes my directions are too long for the screen, so then please click on the tiny blue >> to get the whole message to appear.
Simply click on the items in the list of "jogs' to jog down the pages. Each one will lead you to a website. (Be patient - some load a little slowly.) Take it at your own pace. Have fun!

2Can You Hear Me Now? - Jog #1
What is sound? Or rather, what are the qualities of sound? This video gives a nice introduction. Terminology introduced: amplitude, frequency, and pitch.

3Can You Hear Me Now? Jog #2
This page has a description and definition for the terms Amplitude and Frequency. It has to do with music. Please read down to the Hearing Test. (Everything after the hearing Test does not apply to us.) I encourage you to take the test yourself, and then have your parents take it. You should find that you can hear higher frequencies than their older ears can!

19The Ear. Jog #4
This website has lots of good sound links, and I encourage you to explore the various links. But this is the last jog, and it is time for a test! So under the heading "On-line Games and Puzzles", click on "Label the Diagram of Human Ear'. After watching the previous three videos a time or two, you should be able to name all the parts of the ear correctly. Good luck!
