Measuring noise
This is one of a series of resources from the IET designed around the theme of the future of flight with the purpose of developing pupils knowledge and skills in design technology, engineering, science and mathematics. In this activity pupils measure noise produced by a range of activities using a sound meter to help them understand how noise is measured and that high noise levels can damage our hearing.
This activity could be used as a main lesson activity to teach pupils about sound, as part of a scheme of work covering sound waves and how sound is generated, or as part of a wider topic area covering health and safety considerations in the workshop.
