Note:
What is Sound?
Sound is what we hear when something makes noise. Different objects can make different sounds, and sometimes sounds can be similar but still distinct from each other. We can also hear sounds that are soft or loud.
Evaluation Questions:
- What is sound?
- How can we differentiate between different sounds?
- Can you give an example of a soft sound? How about a loud sound?
Teaching Aids:
- Objects that make different sounds (bell, drum, whistle, etc.)
- Pictures of scenes (beach, jungle, etc.) and related sounds
