Noun Phrases: 

A noun phrase is a technical term for a group of words that contains a noun, along with modifying words for that noun.

As a reminder, a noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. The noun phrase will contain a noun along with words that describe or modify the noun. Even a simple modifier, such as a number or an article like ‘the’ or ‘a’ turns the group of words (including the noun) into a noun phrase.

LC: To describe what happens to a sound as it travels away from its source.

   We are going to take part in a little experiment. We are going to see what happens to a sound as we move further away from the source.

 

   To complete a scientific experiment, we have to make sure that we test things fairly or our results will be wrong.

 

   Talk to the others on your table about how you think we can test this question out. Your teacher will guide you.

 

      You might want to think about these:

 

     What can we use as a sound source?

     How can we make sure the sound doesn't change in volume?

     How are we going to test the distance?

 

     Scientists always record their findings so that is what we will do. Remember to consider how you can make your test fair. 

 

 

 

      Now, if you want to challenge yourself, can you explain WHY this happens?
