To attract the attention of students to the subject, daily life animations were used. This resource includes 60 slides; - (questions with Answer key) - Physics around us... - Revision, - HW. Everything is ready to be used or easily edited to suit your learners. You should install these Fonts for this document; (Marker Felt AND Tempus Sans ITC) Also; With this PPT, everything was prepared according to the Syllabus of Cambridge O Level & IGCSE Physics. With this PPT, Candidates should be able to: (a) describe the production of sound by vibrating sources. (b) describe the longitudinal nature of sound waves and describe compression and rarefaction. (c) state the approximate range of audible frequencies for the healthy human ear as 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz. (d) explain why a medium is required in order to transmit sound waves and describe an experiment to demonstrate this. (e) describe a direct method for the determination of the speed of sound in air and make the necessary calculation. (f) state the order of magnitude of the speeds of sound in air, liquids, and solids. (g) explain how the loudness and pitch of sound waves relate to amplitude and frequency. (h) describe how the reflection of sound may produce an echo. (i) describe how the shape of a sound wave as demonstrated by an oscilloscope is affected by the quality (timbre) of the sound wave. (j) define ultrasound. (k) describe the uses of ultrasound in cleaning, quality control, and pre-natal scanning.

A fun activity where children think about the sounds they hear around them. There are 5 different worksheets based on this activity. 1 and 2. Children match the sound words to the pictures. 3. Children write the sound words around the edge of the pictures. 4 and 5. Children draw a picture for each of the sound words they read. Supports thinking, reading, phonics and listening skills and your topic on Sound.

In this resource, we explore the trailblazing recording and production techniques of Joe Meek and Phil Spector in the 1950s-60s. We explore how they crafted their own vision of recorded music, and how they manipulated their sound in unique and innovative ways to pave the way for the ‘modern producer’, rather than engineers in lab coats. This resource is fully animated for ease of delivery, and contains many embedded audio examples. It also contains an exam-style comparison question between Meek and Spector’s work. This resource is part of the ’Sound of Popular Music’ series. This series is designed carefully to allow pupils to draw parallels between their musical, historical, practical, and technical knowledge, and further appreciate how developments in Music Technology shaped the course of popular music throughout the 20th Century. In doing so, pupils are better equipped to deal with exam-style questions, particularly extended responses. I hope you and your pupils enjoy this resource!

Schools are noisy places, and noises are fun to sound out and make up words for, as children will find here. Do their shoes go CLUMP CLATTER, CLICK CLACK or SHUFFLE, for instance? And how about all those dinner hall sounds? This sheet combines Creative Writing opportunities and all-round Literacy with a focus on school, helping children identify with it and develop their sense of belonging. An excellent end-of-term activity, gap-filler, writing prompt or onomatopoeia teaching aid.
