Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify suitable materials to use for soundproofing the classroom and a template to investigate and test how sound can travel through a range of different materials when attempting to muffle vibrations.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how sound can travel through a range of different materials by testing how to use materials for soundproofing.

This lesson is part of a science scheme of work to get the children to identify how sounds are made by vibration, investigate ways of changing pitch and volume and test how some materials can be used for soundproofing. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
