===Activity Measure===
====Activity Summary====
Measuring this activity helps students explore the physical world, it allows us to see
different variations of a sound (frequency, amplitude, etc..) using the microphone
XO. The student can have a visual representation of a wave as well as learn
concepts related: the frequency, amplitude, time, etc.. This activity can be
used during the course of primary education, and since the first year.
====Affordances of the activity====
* The student can view a graphical representation of the wave produced by sound.
* Students can record over a period of time that the wave generated.
* Students may be required to differentiate the sound of a tone.
* It can classify the sounds according to their kind.
* Students can measure the amplitude of a sound.
* Students can measure the frequency of a wave.
* The student can compare the sound with his classmates.
The activity measurement also presents a number of affordances such as measuring the
voltage of a current or observe these currents on the screen as you would with a
oscilloscope, which can be developed as required curriculum. A list of
possibilities and specifications for construction of the different probes are available at
Next: # http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Measure Projects_and_Activities_Index. Only
this resource is available in English and requires skills in
of electricity. For the use of probes and tools (thermometer,
pH indicator, indicator of the turbidity of a liquid indicator of the conductivity of a
liquid, etc..) software were designed specifically for the XO. For more
information, visit the Vernier to the following address:

====Degree of centrality of the activity====
This activity in terms of curricula for the 4th year of primary education can be regarded as
device. At the central level, it could be placed at level 3. Because if it does
is really not the primary curriculum, it enables students to explore
domains other than those prescribed and develop curiosity and promote its
spirit of discovery.
====Application pédagogique 1====
====''Exploration and comparison of sounds''====
''Level (s)'': 4th to 5th grade of primary
''Knowledge'': The CW
''Savoirfaire'':
Explore the sounds in their physical dimension.
''History'':
Through the feature that allows you to record sound, the teacher and students
could save a number of sounds to form a kind of
sound database.
Once the database set up (the sounds come from both
the everyday environment, as everywhere else) students proceed to
comparisons to determine which sounds are the highest, lowest, most
acute, the most serious differentiate waves and sound, see the frequency and
amplitude, etc..
====User Guide for the Measurement====
To start this activity, click the Measure icon is in the perspective
Home XO (it is represented by a screen where we see a curve).

Once in the business, we have a number of features, so we can
amplitude control (visual) by extending or shortening.

The microphone can record sounds is de facto running as soon as we began
on the Measure. There is an icon that lets you start recording
sound (at the top of the screen on the far right) and another that allows you to control when
recording (it can be done immediately or can be programmed in a
time interval determined). Sound option allows you to see sounds, but
also be recorded, while the option Sensors can measure the voltage of a
current, but also see it on the screen. Like all activities,
to share his business, click on the Activity tab, and then click Share with: My
neighborhood, and follow the procedure for sharing on pages 15 to 17 of Getting Started in XO and
the environment Sugar V.8.2.
