The Gravity Jet Suit creates a lot of noise.  This resource explains how sound waves travel and are detected by the human ear.

From Teachers TV, this video shows four examples of lessons on light and sound that are suitable for primary school children. Part of the Great Lesson Ideas series, it contains these ideas for lessons: Years Five and Six teacher David Aston, shows how glass bottles and water inspire children to think about how...

These diagnostic questions and response activities (contained in the zip file) support students in being able to:

• Recognise that as a sound wave travels forward, the medium it travels through does not.
• Describe the movement of each ‘particle’ of a longitudinal (sound) wave as the wave moves...

A quick revision activity, from the ASE SYCD: Science Year Primary CD-ROM, for the whole class on gravity and space.

This resource enables the teacher to assess the effectiveness of the teaching and level of knowledge and understanding in the class in an interesting and exciting context.

In this learning episode, from the Institute of Physics, students look at standing waves in musical instruments and measure their wavelength. Microwaves are used to estimate the speed of light.

The activities include:
* demonstrating waves in a rope
* how superposition results in standing waves...

This resource from Physicists in Primary Schools (PIPS) supports the teaching of [b]light[/b] at Key Stage Two. A presentation introduces sources of light and how we see them, demonstrating how we see objects, reflection of light, composition of white light and primary colours. The presentation is interspersed with...

This Nuffield Primary Science book consists of 11 colourful, and highly illustrated, double-page spreads aimed at students aged 7-9. The book ends with a glossary and index.
