Aligned to Year 4 Science — Sound. Covers identifying how sounds are made, recognising that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear, finding patterns between the pitch of a sound and features of the object that produced it, and finding patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations.
Teaching Tips +

The Water Xylophone is the standout activity — prepare in advance and let children experiment freely before recording results. Works best taught alongside the Investigating Sound pack as a full sound unit. Links naturally to Music lessons on pitch and dynamics.
