Content

  • Physics: Sound

    This can be a stand alone unit, but it also builds on the States of Matter unit, where children learned that materials can be solids, liquids, or gases.

    Understanding how particles behave in each state is vital for this unit, which explores how sound travels through different media.

    Children may also draw on prior experience with musical instruments in music lessons, but no formal science learning about sound is assumed.

    Specialist
    Resources Needed:

    A printable resource checklist will be provided prior to the block starting, however key items needed include:

    A selection of sound-making materials (e.g. spoons, rubber bands, rulers, small boxes)

    Balloon, bucket of water, and plastic bottle

My name is Carrie Ann! I teach Primary and GCSE science in the hub. I have a degree in Biochemistry and over 16 years science teaching to my name, both in schools and the outdoor classroom. I am obsessed with making science fun for children! I want to inspire children to become scientists. Why? Because science is SO important. We need tomorrow’s: 👩‍🔬Doctors 👨‍🔬Research Scientists 👩‍🔬Engineers 👨‍🔬Inventors 👩‍🔬Nano technology experts If we can spark your child’s imagination to ask, explore, question and investigate; this becomes of a life-long skill which could lead down the path of an amazing science career. Who knows we might even have a future Nobel Prize winner?!
