Model Making - Science

Today, the children were given a challenge. In two sessions the children had to research how an ear works, collect materials to make a model ear (explain why they chose those materials) and prepare a short presentation to explain to the class how we hear sound. The children were fantastic, they worked non stop to produce some fantastic models and give excellent presentations. Well done to you all, both myself and Mrs. Gardiner are very proud of you. Dont forget to have a go at the investigations that I have set for you on the moodle. They are fun, and will help further your understanding of sound.
