At the end of a sound muffling investigation, the pupils discussed their findings and recorded their conclusions. The ‘QR’ code contains a video clip of children testing out ear muffs they had made. The pupils concluded that ‘the best material to muffle sound was cotton wool’, and gave reasons based on scientific knowledge as to why this might be the case. The subtitles prompted the children to link their learning to real life contexts and reflect on success criteria and next steps . For example, next time for a more accurate reading they would consider using sound sensors.
