Year 5 Science – Investigating Insulators!

In the Autumn term Year 5 were investigating sound and insulators. They came up with a method of wrapping an iPad in different materials to find out which material muffled the sound the most! Using decibel-meters, the children accurately measured the amount of sound emitted from the iPads before recording the results in tables.
