In science will be covering:

Within ‘Sound’, we:

To find out that sounds are made when objects and materials vibrate
To investigate whether sounds can travel through different materials
To explore the relationship between distance and volume
To find out that some materials are effective in preventing vibrations from sound sources reaching the ear.
To investigate how sounds can be different pitches and volumes
To find out how the length, thickness and tightness of a string affects its pitch
To find out how sounds can be made by air vibrating and how to change the pitch of notes produced by vibrating air.

Within 'States of matter', we:

To compare and groups materials according to whether they are solids or liquids.
To identify and explore the properties of gases.
To observe that materials change shape when they are heated or cooled.
To research the temperature in degrees Celsius at which materials change shape.
To understand the process of evaporation
To understand the process of condensation
To identify the part played by evaporation and condensation in the water cycle and associate the rate of evaporation with temperature
