Welcome toSt Nicholas Church of England Primary Academy

Science

Vocabulary: Sound, volume, waves, travel, vibrations, pitch.

 

Sound : How do we hear sounds?

We will be learning how vibrations cause sounds and how sounds travel, as well as how sounds can change pitch and loudness. The children will learn about how sounds are made, carrying out demonstrations of vibrations, and completing a sound survey of their school. They will
work in groups to create a human model of the way particles pass sound vibrations on, and write and star in their own documentary explaining how sound travels.

What is sound? | Physics - House of Sound

The children will work in a hands-on way to explore pitch, and will use their understanding of how high and low sounds are made to create their own set of pan pipes. They will have the opportunity to make a string telephone, and will use this to investigate how sounds change over distance and through different materials.

Sounds of Science - Cool Science Experiment

The children will work scientifically and collaboratively to investigate the best material for soundproofing, in the context of making a music studio quieter. Finally, they will demonstrate their learning from the whole unit by designing and creating their own musical instrument that will play high, low, loud and quiet sounds.
