Light and Sound Exploration

This week we continued to explore light. We looked at the artistic effects of using black light, glow sticks and luminous tape. Grade 1s in spite of already knowing what it is, still find the activity fun and enjoyable. Then we proceeded to exploring sound and its properties. We did station activities and checked on how sound travels in different media (solid, liquid, gas). Then we worked one being creative with sound by doing foley sound effects. They used different materials such a sbeans, plastic, metal pan, paper, plastic bottle and others to imitate sounds of thunder, footsteps, wind, door opening and closing and others. It was impressive to see how resourceful they were checking the materials and listening intently to the sounds they can make. Next week, we will continue collaborating with the Grade 2s and Pre-School in creating a simple video production applying what we learnet from our last unit, How we express ourselves.
