Vibrations

Vibrations

We enjoyed our first Science lesson this half term where we learnt that sound is caused by vibrations. We did some practical activities where we could see the vibrations including seeing rice dance on a drum and our class favourite, making the water jump up when we put the tuning forks into a bowl of water. We also went on a sound walk of the school to see what sounds we could hear and identify what was vibrating. We measured the volume of the sound using a data logger so that we could compare the volume across school in decibels.
