Activate Your Prior Knowledge


• Show students an image of a Noise-Reducer Acoustic Barrier (such as the one with
rockwool, available at Koko Systems).
• Ask students:
o What other noise-reducing methods or tools do you know?
o How might this acoustic barrier help relieve plant stress?

Key Components:
Plant Stress and Noise Pollution
Plant stress refers to the physiological and morphological responses of plants to unfavorable
environmental conditions such as drought, high temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, and
pollution. Noise pollution, while typically associated with human and animal stress, can also
affect plant health.

• Noise pollution can disrupt water balance in plants, hormone production, and nutrient
absorption.
• It can interfere with pollination by affecting the behavior of insects like bees and
butterflies.
• Noise pollution is often linked to increased traffic and industrial activity, which can lead to
elevated levels of air pollutants that damage plant tissues.
Assessment:
• Let the students answer the True and False questions and Identification.

Guided Activity:
Materials
• Arduino board
• Sound sensor module (e.g., KY-038)
• Relay module
• Water pump
• 9V battery
• 2-channel jumper wires
• LCD I2C module
Circuit Design and Connection
1. Sound Sensor
o VCC → Arduino 5V
o GND → Arduino GND
o OUT → Arduino analog pin A0
2. Relay Module
o VCC → Arduino 5V
o GND → Arduino GND
o IN1 → Arduino digital pin 2
3. Water Pump
o Positive wire → NO pin on the relay module
o Negative wire → Arduino GND
4. LCD I2C Module
o SDA → Arduino SDA
o SCL → Arduino SCL
o VCC → Arduino 5V
o GND → Arduino GND
5. Battery
o Positive wire → VIN on Arduino
o Negative wire → GND on Arduino

Upload the code to the Arduino and test the system.

Programming Overview
Use libraries Wire.h and LiquidCrystal_I2C.h. The code will:
• Measure noise levels and display them on the LCD.
• Activate the water pump if noise exceeds the set threshold, simulating stress relief for
the plant.
Code Breakdown
• The sound sensor pin is set as input, while the relay and pump pins are outputs.
• When noise exceeds the threshold, the pump activates to "water" the plant, helping
relieve plant stress.

Independent Activity
Objective
Students will design and implement a noise detector system to monitor and reduce plant stress.
Materials
• List the materials used during the experiment.
Circuit Diagram
• Draw the circuit design based on the guided activity.
Procedure
• Write down the steps followed during the experiment.
Data Gathering
Record ambient noise levels, noise thresholds, and observations of plant stress (e.g., wilting
or yellowing leaves).
Answer Keys
Assessment:
I. True or False
1. False
2. True
3. True
4. False
5. True
II. Guide Questions
1. Environmental factors such as drought, high temperatures, nutrient deficiencies,
and pollution contribute to plant stress.
2. Noise pollution can disrupt water balance and pollination, leading to plant stress.
3. Noise can stunt plant growth and reduce biomass production.
4. It interferes with pollinators' ability to locate flowers.
5. It increases air pollution, damaging plant tissues and reducing photosynthesis.
