Week 2: Sound

ACTIVITY #2

Activity #2 will consist of three parts:

1) Please take a look below at the Noise Pollution & Sound activity that will be discussed on Thursday. We are asking each participant to complete this activity over the course of Tuesday and Wednesday to collect the necessary data. You will need to download the Decibel X app (free app) on a smart device.

2) Last week, we did a poll to see how many of you have your own musical instrument. If you do, please plan to have it available on Thursday. If not, do NOT worry because you will be making one ! Below are some of the options that will be available on Thursday. Please plan accordingly.

3) Work and power output will be calculated based on using the instruments and performing dance moves.
