Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify and describe ways of changing the pitch of a sound using musical instruments and a set of cards to complete a set of tests to investigate and record different ways of changing the pitch of sounds.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore different ways of changing the pitch of a range of sounds made when playing musical instruments.

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.
