5 Ways to Explore Science with Your PreSchooler Through Vibrations
May 19, 2008 Games and Activities 1 CommentHere’s another way to introduce science into your child’s life.
Cover a bowl with a foil, and secure it tightly with a rubber band. Place some grains of rice on the foil, and tap the edge of the foil lightly with a stick. Watch the grains jump into the air. The vibrations are longer if you stretch a piece of rubber instead of foil.
Or, do the same thing on a drum, if you have one.
Or, take a ruler, hold it above the table, and then hit the side of the table with it. Watch it vibrate .
Or, let her hold her throat muscles while she talks or sings, and feel the vibrations. Explain that the vibrations of the vocal chords causes the sounds to come out.
Or, do all these together (it should take half an hour if you do them all in slow motion) and make a science lesson of it!
Have fun and keep smiling!
