After a lot of discussions and theories from the children, we learnt that sound is vibrating air particles caused from an object that is too vibrating. The vibrating air particles form waves that travel to our ears. To explore this concept further, we caused rulers and elastic bands to vibrate and thought about the sound travelling to our ears. This has definitely sparked our curiosity and we are looking forward to learning more in our science lessons this half term …
