Explanation Of a Guitar

I'm writing about a guitar and how it makes sound.


Strumming the nylon strings makes vibrations that the sound travels through the hole and bounces off the back and comes out again and makes the sound more louder and clearer. The shape of the some guitars is funny because the body of the guitar sort of looks like Squidward’s head on Spongebob squarepants.     

  Well there are some different kinds of guitar like electric guitar  ukulele and more. The turning keys are used for to change the tune and the bridge is used to hold the nylon strings to make its sound.

How is sound created from a guitar: Strumming the nylon strings  makes the sound come through the hole. And plus it depends what kind of song they're playing or how they use it On the guitar it has six strings to strum.

Science experiment template


Data (What happened?)

Shape/object/materials
Results:
1
flat piece of paper
No difference at all to the sound.  
2
funnel facing to the front
sound is more clear and louder.
3
funnel facing to the side
the sound isn’t more clearer because it echos and its quieter  
4
cotton ball or tissue  blocking the narrow end of the funnel
The sound is like everyone is whispering to each other
5
rolled up piece of paper (facing to the front)
it sound like it was echoing and when i faced the other way it sounded like it was a beach near my ear…..
6
rolled up piece of paper (facing to the side)
It would sound any better the sound would echo a little.


1130 feet per second


Observations:

when I used a flat paper it didn’t make any sound...
when we use a funnel sound is more clear and louder.
when the funnel facing the front the sound isn’t more clearer because it echos and its quieter. When we use a Cotton ball or tissue  blocking the narrow end of the funnel The sound is like everyone is whispering to each other. When we used rolled up piece of paper (facing to the front it sound like it was echoing and when i faced the other way it sounded like it was a beach near my ear. When we used rolled up piece of paper (facing to the side) It would sound any better the sound would echo a little.

Conclusion:

When you are facing to the side it echos. When you are facing to the front it is more clearer and you can hear them more better.  The rolled paper facing toward the front sounded more clearer than facing in toward the side. The funnel facing towards the person sounded the most clearest than facing away from them.

If the paper it flat all you can hear is them talking at the back of you but if its rolled up you could hear more better.

Music

Music. Well I can tell you alot about music!!! Did you know that music has heaps of types of music? They have Hip Hop, Jazz, Reggae, pop, soul, Dubstep, and much more. Well my favorite instrument is the drums because I really like the sound and what people do with it. When I use the drums I do anything then it sounds cool.. Well on a guitar I like doing anything. There are many music artists in the world. For example: Linkin Park, Tyga, Eminem, Will.I.Am, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, John legend, Jason derulo, Dj Snake, Dj noiz, Frank Ocean, Jonah Takalua, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Nate Dogg, Peter T, Maroon five, Morehouse, Soulja Boy, Young sid, Common Kings, Ice Cube, Drake, Asap, 2Pac, Elvis presley, Justin Bieber, One Direction, Eazy E.. My favourite artists are Will.I.AM and Chris Brown because Will.I.Am really entertains me, because I really like the beats and sound. Plus he came to our school and gave us $100,000 for Manaiakalani. Chris Brown is really cool as well because I like his song with lil Wayne. They are really good together. What loud music at home can do is damage your eardrums and you may not be able to get you hearing back.

Immersion Assembly

On May the 5th on Monday 2014 we had this fancy show from our own teachers that they performed. As I walked in the gates I was so happy because my mates and I always plays touch. On the field because I really miss playing touch with them when I was in the gates my mates were waiting for the boys to come so we can play touch. We didn’t have a ball. That sucked because already on the first day in the morning we didn’t have a ball to play with.

 The bell RANG. All the boys were like "nooooo!" "All goods" said one of the boys. "Lets play touch at morning tea and lunch" I said. Antonio, Lukis and I walked in class wearing our shoes. Our teachers said to take them off so we said “miss then can we stand at the door?”. “She replied okay then”. So we lined up outside going to the hall for the fancy show.

Our teachers was wearing some headphones on and black clothes on, and some black cool looking classes. We walked into the breeze and in the hall was balloons lined up in a row and some balloons on the stage. Isn’t that cool? Mr burt looked really cool because he looked like a clown. "Hahahaha" I was laughing a little bit.

During Immersion Assembly Mr burt called up Team 1 because they were gonna perform but i thought wrong it was just a video i don’t really like long boring video likely it wasn’t long it was just right I didn’t really like it doe because i really wanted them to dance. But when Mr Burt called up team 2 they were like doing a show for us I liked it a little bit..
