This Year 4 Sound and Distance Worksheet helps pupils investigate how distance affects sound by measuring and recording sound levels at increasing distances from a sound source. Pupils can complete this activity independently, in pairs, or as part of a small group, with plenty of opportunities to discuss their predictions, observations and results. This task encourages the use of mathematical and scientific skills, including measuring accurately, recording data systematically and presenting information clearly using a line graph.

This activity works brilliantly alongside our Year 4 How Does Distance Affect What We Hear? Investigation lesson.
