LC- To understand how sound is made.
LC- To understand how sound travels to the ear.
You are all going to get an elastic band. We know you are all going to play with it but watch what happens when you play with it.
Now, let's focus.
Put the band around your fingers like this.
Pluck the band. Your teacher will show you how. Do you notice anything?
Now instead of you finger, put the band around some card. Pluck the band again. What do you notice?
Experiment a little. Can you make a tune? We will take pictures of you for our wall.
Now, in pairs, flick a ruler on the end of the table. The picture below shows you how. Don't flick too hard, we don't want to break the ruler. What do you notice. Move the ruler backwards and forwards. What do you notice now?
Talk to the people around you about what happened and how you think sound is made.
Who is brave enough to share their ideas with the class?
We will now watch the following video. Listen carefully. How accurate were your explanations?
As a class, we will now watch a few videos to see if we can learn more about how sounds are made.
How Do We Hear?
Sounds are made when objects vibrate.
The vibration makes the air around the object vibrate and the air vibrations enter your ear - you hear them as sounds.
You cannot always see the vibrations, but if something is making a sound, some part of it is always vibrating.
Sound waves travel through the air down the ear to the ear drum. When the vibrations hit the ear drum, this sends a message to the brain that changes the vibrations into sounds.
Now, let's have a go at labelling the ear.
Your turn.
Draw lines to label the ear and explain how sound is made and travels to the ear.
