Young scientist investigates sounds
The Young Scientist Investigates topic book on Sounds was first published in 1984 and gives information, illustrated by full colour photographs and drawings, about sounds heard in everyday life, how they are created, and how they vary. It describes sound as vibrations travelling through a medium in waves and shows some of the ways in which it can be created by human, other animals and musical instruments. There is an account of how we hear. The book is intended for children aged 8-11 to read and then to answer question and carry out investigations of how different sounds can be made.
