Vibrations and Sounds all Around Us!
March 5, 2018 at 8:52 am
After putting the finishing touches on our Treasure Boxes, we got to dive in to the world of Vibrations and Sounds! Ms. Gillis started by having us think and observe the world around us, and start to think about all the amazing sounds we hear. We had no idea there are so many! We talked about how some sounds are low, and some sounds are high! We even got to hear how some SOUND EFFECTS are made in movies and cartoon! It was so cool!
Then, we got to work together as a class to recreate the sound of this thunderstorm! It was a lot of fun only using our hands and feet to make so much noise!
Then came time to learn about vibrations! We got to see how vibrations are movements that make sound. We took a ruler and held it off the edge of our tables, then gently pushed down on the edge of the ruler to create a "boing" sound. It was so fun to create the sound effects!
We can't wait to explore more and start to build our own instruments to make our own unique sound!
Keep Exploring,
Ms. Gillis
