Play Sound Travel Lab
Trace sound from vibration through solids, liquids and gases, compare insulation tests, reason about broad speed patterns and predict blown-bottle pitch. Saving is off unless you choose it.
Choose answers about vibrations, sound travel, controlled comparisons and specified blown-bottle pitch. Speed comparisons are a local-resource extension; practical investigation and hearing assessment are not assessed.

How Sounds Travel
Start here
Focus on how sound travels through materials. Open support for “Investigate How Sounds Travel”, then explain the idea in your own words.
Year 4 learners practise how sound travels through materials.
The activities include Investigate How Sounds Travel, Investigate How to Change the Pitch of a Sound Using Bottles of Water, Investigate Sound Insulators, and related practice. The checked support below includes video, lesson, interactive. Open a resource in its provider's website and choose the format that best helps the learner explain the idea independently.
