Primary science. Sound and hearing
Description
Five lesson starters provide an engaging access point to the subject of sound and hearing across KS1 and KS2. At the end of each clip a question is posed. Clip 1 is a comedy about a man whose noisy neighbours keep him awake and asks the question: What materials are best to muffle sound? Clip 2 is a Sound Quiz. An elaborate montage of pictures and sounds are followed by a quiz where ten sounds are played back without any pictures. How many sounds can you recognise? Clip 3 is a little drama about a game of hide and seek in a wood. Gabby has trouble finding her friend until she realises that taking off her ear muffs help her pinpoint where he's hiding. In Clip 4 the professor tests out different sounds on his assistant Sam. How do they make her feel; happy, sad or indifferent? Clip 5 is about changing sound and features a drum group in a school finding out about changing the pitch of African drums. It finishes with a captivating drum performance.
