Exploring About Sound

As we begin our new unit on sound, we've looked into questions like "Why did God create sound?" and "What kind of sounds can we hear?"  We've determined a number of reasons for God's wonderful creation: the ability to communicate, the enjoyment of nature, and the precautions we can make for safety.  There are dozens of reasons sound is a benefit to humanity.

In this website, there are a number of videos discussing how people use sounds in their jobs and in every day life.

In the second website, there are some "listening" sound games that show how well we have to listen in order to hear some of the sounds around us.

These websites are just a glimpse of what we are learning.  We sure are enjoying the experiments in class!
