Year 4 Exploring Pitch & Volume Activities

This KS2 topic offers engaging, hands-on activities combining science and music to explore the world of sound. Students can create musical instruments from recyclables to experiment with pitch and investigate how string sounds are affected by different materials. They can also explore sound volume by creating string telephones and muffling sounds, learning about sound travel and its relationship to distance. By incorporating these activities, educators can make learning fun and exciting while adhering to the national curriculum.
