🔬 Science trivia
Listen up! Explore how sound is made, how it travels, and why some sounds are loud or high.
◈ A taste of the pack
Three questions from this pack. Guess first, then reveal the answer — in the game, everyone answers on their phone and the TV shows who got it right.
Q1 How do we describe how high or low a sound is?
Pitch — Pitch tells how high or low a sound is, such as a tiny whistle (high) compared to a rumbling truck (low).
Q2 Sound needs something to travel through, so it cannot travel in empty space.
True — Sound travels by making particles bump into each other, so it cannot travel through empty space where there is nothing.
Q3 Light travels much faster than sound, which is why we see lightning before we hear thunder.
True — Light travels nearly a million times faster than sound, so lightning reaches your eyes before thunder reaches your ears.
