A sound wave needs a medium through which it is transmitted.

RG068003	Energy can be transferred by light in outer space because light can travel without air carrying it, but energy cannot be transferred by sound because sound requires a medium such as air to carry it.

Items associated with this NGSS statement in this project (ASPECt) and other key ideas
RG024003	Any sound made by a guitar can cause the air in a room to vibrate, and these vibrations transfer energy from the guitar to a person's ear.
RG193001	As sound travels through water, matter is displaced for a period of time but then returns to its original position after the sound passes.
RG194001	As sound from a speaker travels through water, the matter moves back and forth in a wavelike motion.
RG195001	Sound transfers energy from a sender to an object by a series of molecular collisions, but the molecules do not travel from the sender to the object.
RG026004	As sound travels through a liquid, the matter is displaced for a period of time but then returns to its original position after the sound passes.
