Sound- a science poem

Sound

Clang!
Bang!
Boom!
Pound!
drum kit
Things gotta' move,
To make a sound...
And that movement,
Makes vibration,
tuning forks vibrating
Makes a sound,
Celebration!
Vibrations come,
To our ear,
In a wave,
That we hear!
ear and sound wave
Vibrate fast,
Sound is high,
Vibrate slow,
Sound is low!
Clang,
Bang,
Boom,
Pound,
Things gotta' move,
To make a sound!

what is sound?
Sounds are made by vibrations that create waves (in air, water, etc.) When these waves are detected by our ears, we hear them as different sounds. When the vibrations are faster, the sounds have a higher pitch, and when they are slower, they have a lower pitch. When the vibrations are moving more (larger amplitude) the sound is louder, and when the vibrations are moving with a smaller amplitude, the sound is softer.
