Substrand: "5.6 Sound and light"
(20 periods)
Sound and light are forms of energy. Learners observe, investigate and experience various properties of sound and light. Sound always needs a medium to travel through. A sound is distinguished by the frequency which affects the pitch of sound produced. Light travels in a straight line; it reflects and refracts; form images of objects on shiny surfaces and is composed of different colours.
