This Connected Learning Experience (CLE) introduces younger students to the concepts of sound and hearing.

Description: In this investigation, sound and hearing are investigated in the context of the many sources of sound sensed in the environment and how this sound is sensed.

Learning intentions:

Students will be able to:

• identify that sound is produced by vibrations and can be sensed;
• demonstrate that sound can travel through a range of materials;
• produce, identify and compare sounds using a range of objects;
• identify and sort sounds using volume as a criterion;
• identify and sort sounds using pitch as a criterion.
