Today, 4A and 4B participated in “Sound is Music to My Ears”. In the workshop, the students learned how sound waves travel. They experimented with many items testing the properties of sound including volume, pitch or frequency, sound quality, movement and speed. One of the kids favourite activities was called the “Laughing Chicken”, where they used a cup and string to demonstrate the amplification of sound, which closely resembled a chicken laughing. The students had a lot of fun and it was an excellent way to launch our Light and Sound unit.
