Last week we began a new science unit on sound. It has been very hands-on and fun. Here are some pictures from our sound activities last week:

Gus listens to a tuning fork.

Eddie feels the vibration when he talks into a balloon.

Maya and Kira see the effects of sound vibrations as they make rice dance.
