STEM Challenge – Sound

Our orchestra!

Primary 4-7 ย have been learning about sound as part of their science topic this term. ย They boldly took on the challenge of designing and constructing an instrument capable of making sound. ย Many skills were used such as:

  • identifying how sound might be produced
  • selecting and joining materials
  • using maths to calculate water volume ratios
  • modifying the design to overcome problems
  • testing
  • decorating for visual appeal

There was an impressive array of creative ideas using pitch, percussion and wind to produce sound in a variety of ways. ย Barbara judged the winning designs:

  • 1st Rowan Harbottle
  • 2nd Livvy Cumming
  • 3rd Lee Gaunt
