Lesson Plan

1Opening (3 min)

Welcome to today's BibleMouse science adventure! Let's remember how we explored movement in our last lesson.

💭 Review Question: What different ways did we see things move yesterday?
2Teaching (5 min)

Today, we're discovering how sounds are made. Sounds come from something called vibrations - tiny movements that make noise!

📌 Key Talking Points:
  • Put your hand on your throat while talking - can you feel the vibrations?
  • When we tap a drum, the surface moves back and forth quickly
  • Different objects make different sounds when they vibrate
💬 Discussion Questions:
  • What sounds can you hear right now?
  • Can you make a sound with something in the room?
3Activity: Vibration Sound Makers (6 min)
