What do you hear right now? A dog? A clock? The radio? What is sound and how are you able to hear it? Watch a video and complete fun online activities and hands-on projects to learn how sound works.
Sound is all around us.
Some sounds indicate joy, such as laughing or clapping. Some sounds indicate danger, such as a fire or police siren. Some sounds are musical notes that come together to make music.
In this lesson, you will investigate and learn about sound using video, fun activities, and hands-on projects.
Read the questions below, and then close your eyes for a minute or so.
On a piece of paper, write or draw all of the sounds you heard when your eyes were closed. At the top of the paper write SOUND.
Write or draw those on the paper as well.
