When you hear a sound, but can’t see the source, guess what's making the sound. Then, track it down!

Listen! What sounds do you hear around you? The refrigerator running? A clock ticking? As you follow the sound, ask your child:
- What happens to the sound as we get closer? Does it get louder? Softer?
- Then ask: What happens to the sound when you cover and uncover your ears? Why do you think that happens?
- As children explore sound, they will begin to understand some key science concepts including that sounds have a source (a sound can be tracked to its source); an action has to happen to make a sound; different objects make different sounds.
- Through hands-on experiences and discussions, kids will become familiar with descriptive words like loud, soft, high, low, fast, slow, etc.
- Science process words will be an important part of the conversations about sound. These words include change, compare, describe discover, identify, listen, notice, predict, etc.
