Exploring the Science of Sounds 100 Musical Activities for Young Children

By Abigail Flesch Connors

Softcover Book

196 pages

Ages 3 - 6

Here's a fun way to introduce children ages 3-6 years old to the science of sound! In her book, Connors offers 100 activities using materials which are easy to find for a preschool classroom. Children will explore the relationship between size and pitch, use their bodies to create sound, create musical instruments, learn how different materials affect the sound an object makes, and much more! From the wind rustling the leaves to the flapping of a bird's wings, we are surrounded by the science of sounds. Each lesson is presented with a few notes about the activity, what you'll need, steps for the activity to try, questions to ask, and discoveries to make. Teacher tips are often included.
