Year One have been very busy scientists this term! They have been learning all about different forms of energy.
Here are a few things Year One have been learning about:
- Sounds can be produced by scraping, blowing, striking and shaking.
- Sounds are made when objects vibrate.
- The volume of a sound is how loud or soft the sound is.
- The pitch of a sound is how high or low the sound is.
- A high sound has a high pitch.
- A low sound has a low pitch.
- The slower something vibrates, the lower the sound.
- The faster something vibrates, the higher the sound.
- The volume and pitch of a sound can be changed.
- There are many forms of energy, including sound energy, heat energy, light energy, electricity and movement.
Take a look at the video below to learn about pitch.
Last week, Fizzics Education came to St Felix to help us learn even more about light and sound. Take a look at the photos below!
What have you enjoyed about Science this term?
What was your favourite part of the incursion?
Dear Year One
This term in Science I loved blowing through a straw to make a high or low sound. I missed the incursion but it looked fun.

Dear M.E,
I’m so glad you enjoyed the straw flute experiment! We sure did laugh a lot! It was a great way to hear the pitch change!
Kind regards,

Hi Year 1,
My most enjoyable part about the incursion was the rainbow glasses.
During science learning about light is fun.
