Science in Year 4

Published on Friday 24 November 2023 by Miss Golightly.

This week the children have been learning about sound in science. The children discovered that sound is a type of energy made by vibrations. We carried out different investigations to discover how sound travels, and the children were able to confidently explain how sound travels through a medium to the ear and what happens inside the ear.

Following this, the children investigated the pitch of a sound. They learnt that high pitch sounds are caused by fast vibrations and low pitch sounds are caused by slow vibrations.

Today, we had a visitor from the Ogden Trust who shared more learning on sound with the children. They carried out a range of different investigations to discover how sound can travel through solids, liquids and gases, and they also investigated how sound gets fainter as the distance from the sound source increases.

 

We have had lots of fun learning about sound. Can the children share with you any of their learning?

    During our Design and Technology lessons, the children have been learning about mechanical systems and structures. The children created a catapult which was used as the structure for their mechanical system which was a lever. Before they made their catapults, the children learnt about the different levers, and they analysed existing catapults to support them in designing their own.

    After designing their catapults in groups, the children then measured, marked and cut their word using a saw. These pieces of wood were then assembled together and coloured to create their final products.

    Finally, the children tested their catapults and evaluated how successful they were.

    The children have been brilliant at recalling their sticky knowledge from their learning. What can they tell you from their design and technology unit?
