Description

By the end of this unit, students will be able to:

  • learn about how sound travels;
  • explore how vibrations are the source of sound production;
  • understand how we hear sound in our ear;
  • identify objects that vibrate to create sound (e.g., guitar strings, vocal cords).

Year 4 Science: Sound

  • identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating
  • recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear
  • find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it
  • find patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it
