Y4 Describing Sounds

Pupils look at a range of instruments placed on a resource table. Each instrument should have a label on it naming it. Pupils explore these instruments one at a time to find out what sounds they can make with them. They record their investigation in a booklet.



Learning Objectives:

  • PoS - identify how sounds are made, associating some of them with something vibrating
  • NaG - pupils should explore and identify the way sound is made through vibration in a range of different musical instruments from around the world
  • WS - making systematic and careful observations
