Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and explain how vibration is used to produce sound and a set of cards to complete a set of tests to investigate and record how the vibration of different materials is used to produce all sounds.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to demonstrate different ways that sounds can be created through the vibration of materials.

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.
