Observation and Prediction Activity on Sound

An observation activity on sound was conducted in the class and school garden. In the class, predictions were made on what kinds of sounds we might hear in the garden. A list of words on the white board was written on the predictions. Children came up with answers like chirping of birds, swishing of leaves, buzzing of bees, vehicle sound, insect’s sound, etc.

Children were taken for a walk in the garden. A shady and calm corner was spotted and all of us sat down on the carpet of grass silently and heard all the sounds around us. Children came back to the class and made a list of observations of the sounds heard in the garden — horn of vehicles, bursting of crackers, generator, wind blowing, chirping of birds, crunchy sound of dry leaves, and flowing of water in the fountain. The predictions and observations were compared and discussed.
