Sound Tube Experiment



Level
5
Pupils
select
the
information
they
need
for
different
purposes,
check
its
accuracy
and
organise
it
in
a
form
suitable
for
processing.
They
use
ICT
to
structure,
refine
and
present
information
in
different
forms
and
styles
for
specific
purposes
and
audiences.
They
exchange
information
and
ideas
with
others
in
a
variety
of
ways,
including
using
e-mail.
They
create
sequences
of
instructions
to
control
events,
and
understand
the
need
to
be
precise
when
framing
and
sequencing
instructions.
They
understand
how
ICT
devices
with
sensors
can
be
used
to
monitor
and
measure
external
events.
They
explore
the
effects
of
changing
the
variables
in
an
ICT
-based
model.
They
discuss
their
knowledge
and
experience
of
using
ICT
and
their
observations
of
its
use
outside
school.
They
assess
the
use
of
ICT
in
their
work
and
are
able
to
reflect
critically
in
order
to
make
improvements
in
subsequent
work.
Next
steps:
The
children
are
using
data
logging
to
investigate
what
happens
to
sound
as
it
travels
through
a
tube.
They
copied
and
pasted
their
graph
into
a
Word
template
in
order
to
write
about
it.
The
children
reflected
on
their
findings
and
could
apply
their
results
to
draw
a
conclusion
about
the
effect
the
tube
had
on
sound.
This
could
be
developed
further
by
some
independent
work
on
echoes.
