Musical instruments

Wentworth CE Junior and Infant School

After investigating (from first-hand experience) various musical instruments, Year 5 and 6 pupils (9-10 year olds) constructed their own working models. They experimented with sound, shape, scale and different materials, including wood, card, metal, wire, string and elastic bands. To assist with evaluation, the pupils digitally filmed the whole design process.
