Young explorers will learn how sound vibrations can create visual, auditory and even imperceivable impacts on the world around us. They will also experiment with the vibrations found in everyday objects.
Explorers will be encouraged to hypothesise and apply their investigative and creative skills to adapt these concepts in a variety of fun, interactive activities to create musical tones, build rhythms and compose music. These activities will include percussion, chladni plates, digital programs and more. Explore the scientific foundations of sound conductivity and learn how they can be manipulated to create enjoyable, musical melodies together.
Learning Outcomes:
-
Using a sensory approach, students investigate the characteristics of sound
-
Students will explore how sounds are produced, transmitted and sensed
