Using the context of what it would be like for a child with hearing difficulties in school, children develop a set of survey questions to assess the noisiest places in school and work in small groups to survey the site and map their findings.

From Teachers TV, this video is part of the Lesson Starters series. It contains five creative ideas for primary science lesson starters to introduce the concept of sound and hearing. Each of these videos presents the topic of sound and hearing in an exciting and accessible way, ending with a question designed to...
