Autumn 2
In Autumn 2, we learnt about SOUND.
-To know how sounds are made.
-To know whether sounds can travel through different materials.
-To know how to explore the relationship between distance and volume.
-To know that some materials are effective in preventing vibrations from sound sources reaching the ear.
-To know how to investigate the different pitches and volumes of sounds.
-To know how the length, thickness and tightness of a string affects its pitch.
In the final week of our topic, we created our own mini guitars to impress Dudley! We impressed Dudley with our knowledge of pitch and volume. We now know that the thinner the string on a guitar, the higher the pitch produced.
