How can we make and describe different sounds?
In today's lesson, we'll be bringing together all our knowledge from this unit. We will be making lots of sounds using our bodies, while discussing how we can describe different sounds by their pitch or volume. Then we will be trying to find high pitch and low pitch sounds using utensils from the kitchen. We will finish the lesson with a sound experiment for you to do in your own time. Let's get started!
