Lesson Planning

Teaching

• Consolidate prior learning on sound through questioning and setting up learning activities for others.
• Create illustrated explanations of scientific phenomena on sound.

Activities

1. Take part in a quiz on sound that will assess children’s learning of all the scientific concepts and vocabulary covered in this block (Yrs3&4).
2. Design a learning activity for others on the theme of sound: asking relevant questions and giving scientific explanations (working in mixed age groups with higher expectations of Y4 children with regard to subject knowledge, organisation and leadership).
3. Consolidate learning on sound by taking part in the exploration activities designed by others (Yrs3&4).
