Dear all,
STEM DAY fun ends another busy week in which we began to write our aboriginal stories and started our geometry unit in maths.
We explore the topic of SOUND today with various investigations into how sounds are made and how sound travels. We conducted an investigation into pitch, volume by making pan pipes and harmonicas and considered how we could change variables to change the pitch our instruments.
See our results investigations below:
Creating sound waves.
Investigation how sound waves travel and how they change with distance.

Playing our made instruments varying the pitch and volume.
