Helping to Support Teaching and Learning
-
Sound Demonstration
Perfect for demonstrating how sounds are made and how vibrations produce sound. These tuning forks provide a clear, audible example of sound principles.
-
Frequency and Wavelength
Tuned to C (256Hz) and B (480Hz), they illustrate the relationship between frequency and wavelength, aiding in the understanding of sound properties.
-
Curriculum Support
Supports Year four science curriculum by helping children identify how sounds are made and find patterns between pitch and object features.
-
Vibration Patterns
Helps children recognise that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear, enhancing their understanding of sound transmission.
-
Volume and Vibrations
Assists in finding patterns between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it, supporting key curriculum aims.
Aluminium Tuning Forks C and B
Demonstrate how sounds are made and the relationship between vibrations, frequency, and wavelength.
Overview
Use these aluminium tuning forks to teach the principles of sound and vibration. They clearly demonstrate how sounds are made and how vibrations produce sound. Tuned to C (256Hz) and B (480Hz), they are perfect for illustrating the relationship between frequency and wavelength in a classroom.
In Year Four science, use these tuning forks to help children identify how sounds are made by associating them with vibrating objects. They also help in finding patterns between the pitch of a sound and the features of the object that produced it. This hands-on approach aids in understanding abstract concepts through practical demonstration.
Additionally, use the tuning forks to demonstrate that vibrations from sounds travel through a medium to the ear. Show the connection between the volume of a sound and the strength of the vibrations that produced it, aligning with the curriculum aim of finding patterns between the volume of a sound and its vibrations.
