Our year 4 scientists have been exploring the link
between sound and vibration in a range of fun, but noisy, activities.
Luckily for the other year groups, the sun was shining
last Thursday when year 4 began experimenting with drums and rice, guitars, cups
linked with string and a variety of other instruments on the field.
By observing how these instruments created noises we
discovered a link between sound and vibrations, concluding that sound is In
fact a vibration passed through the air and received in our ears. We will be finding out how the ear
understands these vibrations next week.
