Sound

Today, we are going to be learning about the five senses. Our bodies do some amazing things. They allow us to see the wonderful world around us, hear things and taste delicious foods. We will be looking at which body part relates to each sense and conducting a sound exploration using our ears.

What are the 5 senses?

In today's lesson, we'll be learning about sound. We will be specifically looking at what sound is and how to make sounds. This lesson will include identifying different volumes of sound. Lastly, we will be conducting an experiment to see if the sounds outside our home are the same in the morning compared to the sounds at night time.

What is sound?

In today's lesson, we will be learning about sound. We will be specifically looking at how our bodies allow us to hear sounds. We will then learn that not everyone has the ability to hear things and we will look at what deaf people may use to hear or communicate.

How do we hear?

In today's lesson we will be learning all about how to look after our ears. They are delicate parts of our body, we need to make sure we take care of them. We will be making a poster to help others learn how they can look after their ears.

How do we look after our ears?

In today's lesson, we'll be learning about sound. We will be learning about how sounds can sound different. Some have a high noise called high pitch and some have a low sounding noise called low pitch. We will be looking at how vibrations can change the pitch.

How can we describe the pitch of sounds?

In today's lesson, we'll be bringing together all our knowledge from this unit. We will be making lots of sounds using our bodies, while discussing how we can describe different sounds by their pitch or volume. Then we will be trying to find high pitch and low pitch sounds using utensils from the kitchen. We will finish the lesson with a sound experiment for you to do in your own time. Let's get started!
