A fun-filled interactive session exploring how we make, hear and use sound… and most importantly how we can enjoy it!
About this Event

Join Science Oxford at the Museum of Oxford!

We are surrounded by sound in our everyday lives, but how often do we really think about it? This session explores how we make, hear and use sound and most importantly how we can enjoy it! Children will be asked to explain and examine various aspects of sound. By listening to and identifying some familiar and unfamiliar noises, they will build up a picture to describe the sounds in the world around them.

There are 3 sessions, each session is 1 hour: 10.30-11.30, 12.30-13.30, 14.00-15.00

Please make sure to arrive on time. We allow a 10 minute grace period for late arrivals. After this point, we cannot guarantee admission to the activity.

This workshop is suitable for ages 5-11.

Tickets cost £10 per child and can be purchased online via Eventbrite (booking fee applies) or at the Museum Shop. Each child ticket includes free entry for one accompanying adult. Children must be supervised at all times.

We recommend booking in advance to secure your place.

Sales from tickets help support our work to deliver fun and accessible family activities, community engagement projects, schools workshops, exhibitions and special events for Oxford’s people in our Museum spaces.
