The Light and Sound topic encourages students to discover the presence of light and sound in the world around them, and to engage in design thinking. During this topic, the children:

Act as “sound detectives” to heighten awareness of sounds all around.
Discover that all sounds are produced by vibrations.
Investigate how well sound transmits through the air and a variety of materials.
Use cup-and-string telephones to explore how sound vibrations travel.
Identify sources of light and ways to light up a dark space.
Investigate how light travels until it hits something.
Observe how light interacts with materials.
Learn that materials can block light, let some light through, or let most light through.
Discover that some materials tend to redirect more light than others.
Investigate how shadows are produced.
Work with a partner to design a communication device and test ways to send and receive messages.
Describe how the device works, why they settled on their design, and the problems they solved along the way.
