Y4 Observing Sound Waves

Pupils learn that sounds are produced by vibrations and that these vibrations travel through the air and into our ears. They complete an investigation to help demonstrate how sound waves travel from their source, through the air and into our ears.


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 - pupils should make systematic and careful observations
