3.vi. Solving three problems related to sound

Mr James introduces the next problem-solving activities. He divides the class into three groups to work on each problem.

The three tasks are : Can you -

Amplify: Make a sound (a music box) louder?

insulate: Make a sound (an alarm clock) quieter?

Improve: Make something to help us hear better?

The children are invited to use the materials provided and anything they find at the back of the classroom (see picture below).

Watch the video below to see how Mr James sets up these three activities.
