Making sounds Sound ~ Activity 2 Objectives • explore ways of making different sounds using a variety of materials • design and make a range of simple percussion instruments Working scientifically • Questioning • Observing • Predicting • Investigating and experimenting • Recording and communicating Designing and making • Exploring • Planning • Making • Evaluating Background information We hear sounds when vibrating air hits our ears. We hear sounds when the vibrations travel to our ears. The bigger the vibration, the louder the sound. The bigger the size, the more sound energy. The harder you hit, blow or strum an instrument or object, the louder the sound. Sounds can travel through many different materials. Ways to produce sounds include banging, scraping, tapping, strumming, purring, plucking, blowing, twanging and drumming. Before the lesson Materials needed • Drinking straw, jar with lid, counters, elastic bands, cereal box, glass bottle, steel ruler, tins, pebbles, cardboard tubes, biscuit tin, dried peas, greaseproof paper, bottle tops, plastic bottle, string, cardboard, paper, adhesive tape, blutack® etc. Preparation • Organise the pupils into groups of five or six. Distribute the materials evenly between each group. The lesson Stimulus • Play a variety of instruments. Ask the class to describe the sound (high, low, loud, soft etc.) Ask the class how the sound was made; for example, by banging, scraping, tapping, strumming, purring, plucking, blowing, twanging and drumming. Write these words on the board to help the class make their instruments. What to do • Pupils have a variety of materials available to them to create a musical instrument. Working in pairs or independently, the pupils choose materials to create an instrument. • Pupils make their instrument. • Ask for volunteers to show and play their instruments. • Pupil complete the worksheet. After the lesson Answers • Answers will vary Additional activities • Pupils plan another instrument. This time they create a design plan for their instrument, labelling the materials they need and explaining how they will construct it. • Pupils play with a number of instruments (drums, tambourine, recorder etc.) and describe how the sound is being made. Viewing Sample Display ideas • If available, take photographs of the pupils making and playing their instruments. Display the photographs in the classroom. 52 <strong>PR</strong>IMARY SCIENCE ~ Prim-Ed Publishing ~ www.prim-ed.com
Sound ~ Activity 2 Use different materials to make a musical instrument. Making sounds (c) Describe the sound your instrument made. Draw your instrument. What materials did you use? (a) Does your instrument make a sound? Rate your instrument on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best.) Describe how you could improve your instrument. Viewing Sample (b) How did you make a sound with your instrument? www.prim-ed.com ~ <strong>PR</strong>IMARY SCIENCE ~ Prim-Ed Publishing 53
