A Signal for the Night Tour

1At the city zoo, Jalen and Priya were planning a signal for the night tour. They wanted a sound that visitors could hear and a small hanging paper loop that could move without anyone touching it.

2First, Jalen tapped a metal chime three times. Each time, the chime moved back and forth, and the children heard a clear tone. When Priya held the chime gently so its side could not move, the tone stopped.

3Next, the children placed a small speaker two feet from a paper loop. The speaker did not touch the loop. With the tone on, the loop moved in 3 out of 3 tries. With the tone off, the loop moved in 0 out of 3 tries.

4They also tried the speaker six feet from the loop. With the tone on, the loop moved in 1 out of 3 tries. They kept the same speaker, loop, and tone for both distances.

Which observation best shows that the moving chime made a sound?
  • A. The chime moved back and forth while the children heard a tone.
  • B. The paper loop was placed two feet from the speaker.
  • C. The speaker and loop were used for both distances.
  • D. The night tour was planned at the zoo.
2.

With the tone on, how many times did the paper loop move when it was two feet from the speaker?
