Use this Year 4 How Do We Hear Sounds? Investigation Lesson to introduce pupils to how sounds are turned into signals that the brain can interpret.

The teaching slides present new knowledge in clear, step-by-step stages, followed by a range of engaging activities to support understanding. You can choose one or more tasks to ensure pupils grasp how the ear works and how scientists investigate this process.

An occupational slide at the end of the lesson introduces pupils to the role of an audiologist, helping them make real-world connections. Finally, additional activities are included to deepen learning in class or extend it at home.

National Curriculum Objectives:
