Sound travels through materials

Julie Hughes - CS Primary Science Adviser & NGfL Cymru
This resource uses animations and interactive activities to explain to pupils how sound can travel through all materials not just air and that some materials are better than others at conducting sound.

The pupil's understanding can be tested with the follow up investigation into what material insulates sound best.
There are downloadable worksheets and investigation notes available with this pack.
