Investigating Sound - Science
In Year 4, our class embarked on an exciting scientific investigation to explore how distance impacts the volume of sound. During this hands-on lesson, the children tested the volume of a real musical instrument as they moved away from the sound source. Working in small groups, they rated the level of volume at various distances and carefully recorded their observations. The class then engaged in thoughtful discussions about the factors that could have influenced their results, including wind, weather conditions, and the accuracy of their measurements.
