Lesson 5 Energy and Forces NOW YOU SEE IT! NOW YOU HEAR IT! Lesson Plan Introduction: 1. Discuss what was learnt in the previous lesson to consolidate learning about sound and vibrations. Watch The Magic School Bus clip Sound is Vibration at . What musical instruments can you name? How do they make sound? This list can be added to the working wall. Development: 2. Pupils will explore ways sound can be made by playing with simple instruments. What are some actions that cause a sound? Write ideas on the board to assist pupils to complete their recording sheet. Explain the different activities as described on page 75. At each activity, pupils identify a way to make sound. Note: Almost all of the activities involve easy, home-made musical instruments which will need to be made before the lesson. Teachers may choose to allow pupils to make their own of one or all of the home-made musical instruments in class or at home. The objective for this lesson is to experiment with making sounds with the instruments, rather than make the instruments themselves. 3. Pupils rotate through the activities in small groups. Allow five minutes at each station. At each activity, pupils work out how to make sound using the material provided. Individually, pupils record information on the recording sheet on page 76. (NOTE: The pupils are only required to record words like ‘blowing’, ‘plucking’, ‘striking’ etc.) Pupils use an audio/video recording device to record the sounds they made with each instrument. 4. After pupils have experimented and recorded their information about the activities, come together as a class to discuss ideas. How did you make sounds with each of the different objects? Did you find any new ways? Discuss different ways sounds could be made with the same object. (Some pupils may blow down into an object; others may blow across the top and so on.) Differentiation • Guided group work and mixed ability pairing should enable all pupils to experience making sounds using the different instruments. Key vocabulary can be provided to ensure that all pupils are able to complete the recording sheet (page 76). • Challenge pupils to write additional information on the back of the recording sheet and to explore different ways of making sounds using the same instrument. Reflection: 5. Select pupils to explain one way they learnt sound could be made. They can complete the sentence ‘Sound is made by …’ What are some ways you make sounds at home or at school? 6. The teacher may wish to upload any videos or ShowMe pieces to the class website or e-newsletter to demonstrate what pupils learnt about actions that create sound.

Energy and Forces NOW YOU SEE IT! NOW YOU HEAR IT! Lesson 5 Striking Materials required: • large, empty cans or any cylindrical containers; balloons; rubber bands; pencil; ruler; small drumstick (optional) Instructions: • Cut the opening off each balloon. • Stretch one balloon over the top of each can and secure with rubber band. • Pupils experiment to find different ways to make sounds with the object. (Note: Pupils need not strike the drum with an implement— they may simply hit with the palm of their hand. They should be encouraged to try different ways of making sound.) Scraping/Tapping Materials required: • plastic drink bottle with ridges or can with ridges, strong tape to secure lid, length of ribbon/string, pencil Instructions: • Secure lid to bottle with tape. • Tape pencil to ribbon and ribbon to lid. • Pupils experiment to find different ways to make sounds with the object. Plucking/Strumming Materials required: • tissue box; scissors; large, rubber bands Instructions: • Cut most of the top from the tissue box. • Stretch the rubber bands at intervals around the box. • Pupils experiment to find different ways to make sounds with the object. Music Stations Blowing Materials required: • plastic straws, scissors, sticky tape Instructions: • Cut the straws to different lengths. • Use the sticky tape to secure them together to form a simple, flute-like instrument. • Pupils experiment to find different ways to make sounds with the object. Shaking Materials required: • two clean, recycled yoghurt containers or large, plastic cups (painted and decorated if desired); seeds/rice/dried beans/pasta; strong tape Instructions: • Half fill one container with seeds. • Attach second container to first with open tops together and secure well with strong tape. • Pupils experiment to find different ways to make sounds with the object. Viewing sample Making sounds with the body Materials required: • body parts Instructions: • Pupils experiment to find different ways to make sounds with their body; for example, clapping, stamping, clicking tongue and snapping fingers.
