Experiment: how sound is made

Questioning in science

This unit has been structured to provide opportunities for children to develop their questioning skills in science. The activity stems from the question starter, "What would happen to the sound we're making if we cut small holes along the length of the straw?" The first page is for the students to work through. It lists the materials required and the procedure, with illustrations included to provide visual clarification. The second page sets out the learning intention and success criteria, explains the science behind the activity and provides a set of questions to prompt thinking.
