Sounds by Meilun and Ashlee

Things we learnt from the WillowWeb podcast:

  • Brain has sound memories
  • Dolphins can hear better than other animal
  • Sound can travel through walls
  • We hear because of sound waves made by vibrations
  • The shape of our ears help us hear sounds
  • If sound bounces off a wall it’s an echo
  • Kids can hear better than adults
  • Part of our 5 senses
  • Babies can hear before they are born
  • Quick vibration make a high pitch sound and slow vibrations make a low sound.

Things we found interesting about the way the podcast was made:

  • Some people liked the jokes some thought they weren’t really funny
  • Lots of interesting infromation
  • Different music
  • Well set out with sements
  • They had a quiz, it was a little bit too easy
  • Year 3
  • They said a lot of things that people might not know
  • Took turns
  • We thought it could go for a bit longer.
  • All the different sounds there are

 

What we would do:

  • Say information about sounds that they might not know
  • Make it stand out
  • Make some quizes to test other people on their knowledge about sounds
  • Show pictures to go with the topic
  • Take turns

 

Sounds we heard:

  • Bowling balls knocking the pins
  • Dogs barking
  • Tower bells were ringing
  • Water bubbles
  • Rain pouring
  • Race cars
  • Cows mooing
  • Sheeps

 

 

How do I record a sound?

 We used a program called Audacity which is free and easy to use.

  1. Make/find a sound
  2. Press record
  3. Save

 Here is a short video (about 3mins) on how to record sounds on your computer.
