Prototype of “Sound”
Prototype of “Sound”Created by Beryl and Peon

The focus question of this learning object:
“How does the amount of water in a glass affect the pitch of sound?”
Tools and resources we have used:
Macromedia Flash MX and Macromedia Flash Professional 8
Ulead GIF Animator 5.05
Microsoft PowerPoint
Microsoft Clipart Online
Media sound recording
Difficulties that we have encountered:
1. As we were not familiar with the Macromedia Flash and it was really difficult to use the different functions for the interactivity available with the software, we needed to seek technical help from others indeed. Fortunately, we still manage to perform simple tasks such as some basic drawings in Flash, animated images used with GIF Animator and sound recording.
2. We did not have a long glass tube so that the sound produced did not show a great difference in pitch.
3. In the prototype, we have made a big mistake that we put the sound in the wrong order with the different volume of water. We will rectify this later.
Further modification of the prototype will be carried out. Any suggestions from you will be beneficial to our final product. Thanks!

Marie,
Thanks for your feedback. Your comment makes me feel very good to move on as there is still many modification ahead for us to make. Thanks again!
Chris,
Thanks for your further suggestion! Your idea is very good. But we are trying to make it in a school lab. Hopefully the result will be better. If not, your idea is a good method. Thanks!
