The Science, Design and Technology of Music 20 March 2018 The Science, Design and Technology of Music Children in Year 4 have been looking at the topic of sound this term. For homework, the children created musical instruments from recycled materials enabling them to explore sound in a different context. They were able to identify which part of the instrument vibrates to create a sound and reflected on what modifications they could make to improve their designs. The children came up with some fabulous creations and formed ‘The Junkyard Orchestra’. They have enjoyed a couple of jamming sessions with all the different instruments which was great fun. Sherfield is developing a Science Technology Engineering Arts & Mathematics (STEAM) approach to learning of which this project is a great example. Head of Prep Blog Share Tweet
