Tips for Parents

  • Here's how to talk to your child about it >>>

    You learned that sound is made by vibrations. When something vibrates, it moves the air around it and creates sound waves. Just like how your voice makes sound when you talk or sing.

  • 4 activities you can do with your child now >>>

    - Ask your child your child if they can hear any sounds around them and identify what is making the sound, based on what they learned from the video. - Experiment with different objects to make sounds. For example, use a metal spoon and a plastic spoon to hit different surfaces and compare the sounds they make. - Go on a sound hunt around your home or outside and make a list of all the different sounds you hear. - Sing a song together and encourage your child to listen to the different sounds they can hear in the music, such as the beat or the melody.

  • Pretend play with your child >>>

    GAME: "Sound Explorer" Instructions: You and your child will explore your home and identify different sources of sound. Ask questions such as "What makes that sound?" and "How do you think that sound is made?" Encourage your child to make their own sounds and guess each other's sounds. Have fun learning about the science of sound together!

  • 1 moral thought for your child inspired by this >>>

    Sound is made when things vibrate. Everything around us is constantly moving and making tiny vibrations. These vibrations create sound waves that travel through the air and into our ears. Remember, even the smallest of things can make a big impact on the world around us.
