Good, good, good, good vibrations!

In science we have been learning about sounds and how they are created through vibrations. We have also learned that we hear these sounds because they travel as sound waves through different media (like air) to our ears. We have also learned about pitch, through homemade and school instruments, and how the pitch can be changed. Thank you to all our parent helpers for supporting us! We can't do things like this without you.


The ruler vibrates when you ping it


When you bang the drum, the vibrations make the pebbles move.

Ask me about the tuning fork!




The vibrations - and sound -stops when you hold the tuning fork







We can hear each other through the string telephone

Out and about

This afternoon we have been out and about in the school grounds, to see what plants and creatures we could find, in September. We made some predictions about the things we might see, then observed carefully. 

 


















Our Flotsam Collages

Our finished flotsam pictures. What do you think? Can you spot who is in a picture, in a picture, in a picture?!
