CHINESE AND SCIENCE

SEMESTER 2 INTEGRATED PROJECT
AY. 2020-2021
PRIMARY 4

I. PROJECT

Overview of the Project

In Science, you will learn about collecting evidence and presenting results in charts and tables.
Your task in this project is to collect information through interviews, present the results and
provide a solution to the problem by designing a soundproof room. While in Chinese, you will learn
vocabulary words to describe sound and to express your own ideas.

II. OBJECTIVES

Science
● investigate the sources of loud sounds
● collect information on “Which source of sound disturbed people the most?”
● present results using bar charts
● identify simple trends and patterns in results and draw conclusions
● present an idea of a design of a soundproof room with at least 2 (two) materials to muffle
sounds

Chinese
● Use appropriate vocabulary related to sounds
● Describe and express logical ideas clearly

III. MATERIALS AND RESOURCES

Science
● Google Sheet to record the data of the interview
● Website: https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/bar-graph.html (for making bar graph online)
● Google sheets to collect information in the survey
● Google slides to add photos of interview, to present results, to add drawing bar chart photo
and to add a design of a soundproof room
● A phone or camera to record video

Chinese
● An A4 paper to draw the template
● Chinese vocabulary you may need: noise source (噪音源) 、traffic noise (交通噪音）、
construcion noise （建筑噪音）、disturbing（扰民）、Hight pitch (高频）、Low pitch (低频）
reduce（减少）、impact (影响）、pollution(污染）、a deafening noise (震耳欲聋）、hazard(危害）、
soundproof (隔音）、greenbelt(绿化带），
● Colour pens
● some decorations (optional)

IV. GUIDELINES/PROCEDURES:

Science
1. Interview your family members and make an online survey of at least 25 people. Record the
data in Google Sheet.

1
 2. Take 4 photos of the interview you conducted at home.

3. Make the bar graph (on the website) and add the photo in the Google Slide. Website link:
https://www.mathsisfun.com/data/bar-graph.html

4. Answer the questions in Google Slides (slide 6).

5. Draw on an A4 paper a design of a soundproof room that includes three ways sound can be
muffled.

6. Make a video presentation explaining the soundproof room. (4 minutes video for both English
and Chinese)

Chinese
1. Draw a template on an A4 paper .

2. Write the name of people that were interviewed on the first column .

3. Identified the type of noise on the second column .

4. Find out what causes the noise on the third column.

5. Find out what kind of impact the noise has on the surroundings on the fourth column .

6. Do some research and find out what will help to reduce the noise (no less than 50 words
each ) on the last column .

7. Take a picture of the project and upload it in Google Slides.

8. Make a video presentation , simply introduce what is your idea of reducing noise for each
place . (4 minutes video: 2 minutes for Science and 2 minutes for Chinese)

V. SAMPLE OUTPUT: Study these samples to get some ideas. The samples that follow are only
meant to help you understand what to do. All students are expected to uphold academic
honesty when doing their work. Please DO NOT COPY the samples.

Science:

1. Add 4 photos of the interview and

add captions below the picture.

2. Present the results of the interview

using a bar graph by editing the Google
Slides.

2
3. Draw a bar chart on a piece of paper.
Make sure it includes title, labels,
scales and bars. (picture is just a
sample)

4. Draw a design of a soundproof room and

add the photo of your drawing in the
slides. Label minimum 2 (two) ways the
sound is muffled.
