Here are the Resources for the Energy and Sound S1 Topic. The first link is the Need to know sheet and can be used to help your child know what might be assessed. The second link is the current power point presentation and you can find older versions further down.

Need to know sheet
Want to know what to revise? Then check over your need to know sheet and make flashcards of all the important information.
We’ve put together an Energy and Sound Topic. First we will look at forms of Energy and energy converters. There will be plenty of opportunities to explore and experiment. Check out the steam engine and workshop, but do follow the teachers’ instructions.

Then we will look at waves and sound. I will have to be careful about what I upload here, as there are materials that we have got the licence for in school but not for me to upload here. There is plenty of fun stuff and we hope you will continue exploring more at home. Start finding out where Energy and Sound are important in your everyday lives: but turn down the headphones they are probably permanently damaging your hearing!
Some of you are on to sound levels and drawing sound levels so if you can get on to TEAMS or are at a school in SCOTLAND you ought to have access to the VIRTUAL FLASH LEARNING. In the Intermediate 1 section of Sound and Music you can see these traces.
You can also be involved in the Royal Society Hearing Project. We have been awarded nearly three thousand pounds by the Royal Society to test every students’ hearing for those that want to be involved. We can also check your headphones and see if your music levels are likely to be causing you permanent hearing damage. You can read about it here, in the blog.
