A science experiment which explores how sound travels.
Sounds are vibrations that travel through the air to our ears. We know that light travels in a straight line, but what about sound?
Use this Science experiment when exploring the physical science of sound.
Students follow the scientific method to conduct the experiment in small groups, then complete the worksheet provided.
Explore the ways people make and use observations and questions to learn about the natural world
Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models
Compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance
Write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary
Explore different actions to make sounds and how to make a variety of sounds, and recognise that sound energy causes objects to vibrate
Sort and order data and information and represent patterns, including with provided tables and visual or physical models
Compare observations with predictions and others’ observations, consider if investigations are fair and identify further questions with guidance
Write and create texts to communicate observations, findings and ideas, using everyday and scientific vocabulary
Light and sound are produced by a range of sources and can be sensed
Science involves observing, asking questions about, and describing changes in, objects and events
Use a range of methods to sort information, including drawings and provided tables and through discussion, compare observations with predictions
Compare observations with those of others
Represent and communicate observations and ideas in a variety of ways
Observes, questions and collects data to communicate and compare ideas
Describes common forms of energy and explores some characteristics of sound energy
Plans and uses materials, tools and equipment to develop solutions for a need or opportunity
Light and sound are produced by a range of sources and can be sensed
Use a range of methods, including drawings and provided tables, to sort information
Compare observations and predictions with those of others
Represent and communicate observations and ideas about changes in objects and events in a variety of ways
