Lesson Planning
Teaching
- Notice patterns between the pitch and volume of a sound and the features of the object that produced it. Use understanding of pitch and volume to answer questions about soundwaves.
Activities
- Understand that sound is a form of energy and will know that the more energy that is put into creating a sound, the louder the sound that is made.
- Look for patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it.
- Begin to see a pattern between the pitch and volume of a sound and the shape of the wave it produces.
Investigation - exploring/pattern seeking
Investigate pitch and volume by exploring instruments and the different sounds they make.
Vocabulary
