Mathematics
You will need:
Woolly worms 1
We are going to have fun measuring today!
Collect the objects you need for this activity. Make sure you check with an adult first.
Select 2 of your objects and use direct comparison to measure them against each other.
Which is the shortest piece? Which is the longest?
Line up your materials in order from shortest to longest, making sure the objects all start at the same point.
Hint! If you are using wool, leaves or string, use sticky tape to tape down one end. This will help you to measure accurately as the ends will all start in the same place.
Take a photo or draw what your work looks like.
Example of how to set out your work
Share your work with your teacher.
Woolly worms 2
Let's measure some more!
Watch the video to learn how to play.
You will need:
different lengths of string or wool (you could also use leaves, sticks or books)
sticky tape
paper
a ruler or measuring tape
Hint! The instructions are also included below in case you need them.
Use your ruler or tape measure to find the exact length of your shortest and longest woolly worm. Record these lengths using centimetres.
Measure the length of:
2 items that are shorter than your shortest worm
2 items that are longer than your longest worm. Record these lengths in centimetres and anything you find interesting.
Measure the length of 2 items that have lengths in between your woolly worms. Record these lengths in centimetres.
Example of how to set out your work
Find 2 items shorter than your shortest woolly worm.
How much shorter are they?
Find 2 items longer than your shortest woolly worm.
How much longer are they?
How much longer is your longest item compared to your shortest item?
If you laid all of the objects from end to end that you have found, do you think they would be:
longer than your right leg?
shorter than your right leg?
about the same as your right leg?

Science and Technology
You will need:
Moving to the sound
Today we are exploring sounds! In this activity we will investigate how sound energy can make things move. We will use a cardboard funnel to send our voice towards the sugar, sprinkles or sand and then we will observe what happens with our ears and our eyes.
Watch the video and join in the activity.
You will need:
cardboard
sticky tape
scissors
a large round bowl
cling wrap
a rubber band
sugar, cake sprinkles or sand.
Moving to the sound
Duration: 8:36
How did the sound make the sugar, sprinkles or sand move?
Do you think it was your breath?
How can we find out if it was something else?
Collecting sounds
Let's listen to everyday objects through the funnel!
Watch the video and join in the activity.
You will need:
cardboard
sticky tape
Important! Do not listen to loud sounds.
Collecting sounds
Duration: 3:25
After you have made your funnel:
Hold the funnel near your ear and point the funnel towards sounds from around the house.
Listen to these sounds through the funnel:
tapping the window
knocking on a door
ask an adult to speak gently into the funnel
listen to the sounds from outside (e.g. trees, birds, wind)
a washing-machine
footsteps on the floor.
Image showing how to use your funnel
Does the funnel make the sounds change?
Are they louder or softer?
Does the funnel help you hear very quiet sounds?
Feeling loud sounds
Place your hands on a radio or music system speaker to ‘feel’ the sounds.
What other sounds or vibrations exist around your house?
Ask an adult to help you feel the vibrations of a vacuum cleaner.
Turn the vacuum cleaner off. What happens to the vibration as the motor slows down?
For those who like a challenge!
Test your funnel with sounds such as a metal saucepan lid and a metal spoon.
Observe the differences in the volume when you use the funnel.
