Pupils' views on how we hear
Our experience tells us that there is not a big variation in the views that children of this age bring to their science lessons. Nevertheless, it is a good idea to probe the understanding of your pupils at the start of any lesson sequence or module.
Here is a sheet that might be used to probe pupils' thinking on sound, allowing them to show what they understand. Included are the responses of six pupils to the sheet.
See if you can spot any common patterns, things to avoid and things you'd want to reinforce in your teaching.
