How do scientists use sound?

Samantha is a scientist and she came to tell us today how scientists use sound.  It was really helpful to hear how some of our learning in inquiry gets used in different ways. Thank you Samantha! We learned about how doctors use ultrasound to look inside our bodies or a stethoscope to listen to our lungs and heart. We also learned how scientists use sonar to map the oceans and how sound travels in our ears.




Here are some reflections from today:

Cam- I enjoyed the diagram of the ear.

Finn- I like how doctors use a stethoscope to listen to our hearts and lungs.

Callum - We learned that ultrasound to see inside our bodies.

Amelia- Scientists can get a picture of how the ocean floor looks like using sonar and bouncing sound back.


She also showed us this fun video of how some musicians can experiment with sound and make it visible in different ways:
