then gradually fades or becomes softer as we move away from it.
______ 3. Car blowing of horn and seemingly endless barking of a
dog are example of noise.
______ 4. Sound travels in solids, in liquids, and in gasses. Sound
travels the fastest through solid, then liquid, and slowest in gas.
______ 5. We always hear an echo even when the original sound is
too weak.
Answer key: 1. Yes, 2. Yes, 3. Yes, 4. Yes, 5. No
Emphasize that a sound wave travels at different speed through

Soil covers most of the land part of the earth.
You find plants, animals, houses, and other organisms
on the soil.
We live in a soil, and it helps us in many ways.
Different types of soil have different physical
characteristics. Each soil type differs in color, textures,
odor, and its ability to hold water.
Some soils are good for planting while others are not.
