The Pitch and Loudness of Sound

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

  • find patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it
  • define and understand the difference between pitch and loudness of sound.

 

Curriculum Alignment: 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
  • recognise that sounds get fainter as the distance from the sound source increases.
