Background

The Cackling Goose pictured to the


right was classified as the Canada
Goose until 2004 when it was split
into its own species and given a new
scientific name. Since both geese
have similar colors and live in similar
habitats it is difficult to tell them apart.

Scientists can use bird calls to tell the difference


between similar looking species. Listen to the call of
a Canada and a Cackling Goose in the YouTube clip
pictured to the left.

1. Use the video above (your teacher will play this) to complete the questions in the table below.

What patterns do you observe (hear and see) in the video?

The Canada Goose sounds like… The Cackling Goose sounds like… a squeak high pitch

Sound Waves
A microphone and audio software were used to create the wave models of the geese below. You will be
analyzing each of the waves on the following page.

Analysis
2. Use the pattern of sound waves on the preceding page to identify the characteristics of the sounds of
Canada and Cackling goose.

The model below shows the sound waves created by a goose traveling to the ear of an observer. The gray dots
represent air particles that are vibrating back and forth.

3. On the model below, label A represents the areas of sound and label B represents the areas of the
apsends of sound.

4. Which areas (A or B) represent the area of highest pressure?a.


5. Which areas (A or B) represent the area of lowest pressure?b.

6. Using the space below, revise the model in question 3 by representing the sound as a wave - as you
might see it on a graph. Label the parts of the wave - including the rest position(equilibrium) , the crests
and troughs (or peaks and valleys), the amplitude, and the wavelength.

A recent study found that birds spend more energy singing than when they are sitting silently. In their
investigation they determined that two species of canary spent 1.05-1.07 times their normal metabolic rate while
singing.

7. Which goose requires more energy to produce their respective call?


Which goose
requires more hbhbhbhbhbhbhbhbh
energy?

Explain your
reasoning. (Use data Canada goose requires more energy to honk. I know this becaus its loder
from the graphs
below)

Baby geese - also known as goslings


In the springtime, you will start to see goose babies, aka
“goslings” in our city parks. Goslings have distinctive calls that
are much different from their adult parents. You can listen using
the link above.

8. Use the data shown below of an adult canada goose call,


draw a new graph on top of the adult goose’s sound
wave showing what the gosling’s call looks like.

9. Justify your sound graph showing the gosling’s call. Use specific mathematical reasoning and specific
measurements of amplitude and frequency to support your explanation. Bonus if you can calculate the
frequency of the different goose calls. (Frequency = number of peaks in 1 second).
