After learning about sources and senses, students will experiment with different ways to create and alter sound and light.

Overview

In this unit students will:

  • Recognise senses are used to learn about the world around us: our eyes to detect light, our ears to detect sound, and touch to feel vibrations
  • Identify the sun as a source of light
  • Recognise that objects can be seen when light from sources is available to illuminate them
  • Explore different ways to produce sound using familiar objects and actions such as striking, blowing, scraping and shaking
  • Compare sounds made by musical instruments using characteristics such as loudness, pitch and actions used to make the sound
