Lesson Planning
Teaching
- Explain that sounds are made when an object vibrates and begin to understand that we hear sounds when the vibrations travel from a source through a medium to our ears.
- Use this knowledge to recognise why sounds get fainter when you are further from the source of the sound.
Activities
- Learn that there are many kinds of sound and that there are many ways of making sound.
- Understand that sound is made through vibrations from a source.
- Research how sound travels.
- Know that sound travels through different mediums, including air, water and solids.
- Recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases.
Investigation - exploring/problem solving
Explore sound further and investigate vibrations and how sound travels.
