Did you ever wonder how sounds are made? Can you identify sounds made by different objects without looking? Well, Gan Daled did and we are excited to tell you the results.
We found that without looking, we could identify many sounds such as a bell ringing and sweeping with a broom. We read Sounds All Around by Wendy Pfeffer and learned that in order to have sound, something must vibrate. We were able to see vibrations when we had the chance to pluck extended rubber bands.
At our Discovery Table we have the opportunity to match sounds by shaking film canisters. One of our favorite experiments is talking on a phone made out of two cups and string. We can actually hear the other person speaking.
Included in our topic of sound, we learned about the sections of the orchestra - woodwind, b
rass, strings and percussion. Gan Daled used musical instruments to demonstrate that striking, plucking, rubbing or blowing objects make them vibrate and produce sound. Haleli Hen brought her guitar and Paige Schwartz brought her harmonica to show us a string and wind instrument. We all had fun having these instruments accompany us when we sang Purim sounds.
