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)

    Tuning fork (or substitute: metal spoon on string)

    Balloon, bucket of water, and plastic bottle
    (Week 2)

    Large rubber bands, open containers or boxes
    (Week 3)

    Instruments with varying pitch (e.g. xylophone, ruler on table, bottles with water)

    Basic measuring tools (e.g. ruler, timer, thermometer optional)

    Sound meter app on phone/tablet or decibel meter (free apps available)

    Cardboard boxes or shoe boxes, glue, tape, cotton wool, foil, fabric etc.
    (Week 5)

    Printed worksheets from the dashboard.

  • Course Objectives:

    By the end of this block, children will be able to:

    Explain how sounds are made through vibrations

    Understand that sound travels through solids, liquids, and gases

    Investigate patterns in volume and pitch

    Recognise that sound gets fainter with distance

    Identify materials that absorb sound and explain how insulation works

    Set up and carry out pattern-seeking enquiries

    Record findings using diagrams, charts, and scientific vocabulary

Tutor

Carrie Ann .

Science Tutor

My name is Carrie Ann Booth 👩🏼‍🔬🧪💥 and I teach Primary Science, KS3 Science, IGCSE Biology, IGCSE Chemistry and IGCSE Marine Science.

I have a degree in Biochemistry with Science Communication and over 20 years of experience teaching science in schools, online, and through hands-on workshops and shows. Alongside teaching in the hub, I am also the founder of The Science Booth, where I bring science to life for thousands of children each year through explosive demos, practical investigations, and unforgettable learning experiences.

My teaching style is all about “serious science learning… but not too serious!” I believe children learn best when they are encouraged to ask questions, get messy, explore ideas, and see the real-world magic of science for themselves. My lessons are energetic, engaging, and full of curiosity, creativity, and wow moments.

Science matters because it shapes the future. Today’s curious children could become tomorrow’s:

👩🏼‍🔬 Doctors 👨🏽‍🔬 Research Scientists 👩🏼‍🔧 Engineers 👨🏻‍💻 Innovators 👩🏾‍🚀 Space Explorers 👨🏼‍🔬 Marine Biologists 👩🏻‍💻 Technology Creators

More than anything, I want children to leave my sessions feeling confident, curious, and excited to learn. If we can inspire children to question, investigate, and think scientifically, those are skills they will carry with them for life… and who knows, we may even inspire a future Nobel Prize winner along the way!
