This science resource is designed for young children to explore and understand the concept of sound through visual activities. The resource includes 3 pages, each featuring 6 colour cards that children can cut out and sort into categories based on the sound’s volume.

Examples include cards with images of loud sounds such as yelling people and a washing machine, alongside soft sounds like someone asleep and children whispering.
