Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - Science: How Sound Travels ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1112.jpeg) 23 April 2024 The children were being super scientists this week, investigating how sound travels through air, liquids and solids. They completed a carousel of activities, which included talking through a balloon, banging a wire coat hanger against a table, holding a bowl with sugar grains against a speaker and banging rocks together under water. The children compared the sounds and explained how the vibrations of the surrounding particles affected the sound. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1112.jpeg) [Year 4](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [Science](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/EB66B291-A1E9-47B9-A8BB-2294F2CD966F.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-23-collective-worship-forgiveness) Previous ### [Collective Worship-Forgiveness ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-23-collective-worship-forgiveness) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1378F345-5A36-4C43-99E4-3C085DD10F82.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-rhyme-time) Next ### [Rhyme time ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-rhyme-time) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
