Year 4 - Exploring Sound and Quiet

Make some noise!
 
Year 4 were very lucky this week to have Miss Dicker teach them all about her job at the Environmental Agency. They tested the volume and pitch of different sounds by using a noise meter, conducted their own experiments of soundwaves and pitch by using rulers and even listened to music created by a ruler! Miss Dicker tested the sound frequencies they could hear and compared it to how high or low Mrs Onslow and Miss Lennon could hear. Year 4 finished by testing how different materials make different sounds and how objects blocking the sound, such as a door or closed window, affect the volume. Thank you Miss Dicker for helping Year 4 to learn all about soundwaves, frequencies and pitch!
 
As you can see below, Year 4 spent some quieter moments at Forest School this week, roasting their own marshmallows.
