My child banged rocks on the table

Science

• The child may have learned about the concept of sound and vibrations as they banged the rocks on the table.
• They may have also learned about cause and effect, understanding that by banging the rocks, they created a sound.
• The child may have observed the different textures and materials of the rocks, fostering their understanding of materials and their properties.
• They may have developed their fine motor skills as they manipulated the rocks and experimented with different ways of banging them on the table.

Encourage further development by providing the child with a variety of musical instruments to explore different sounds and vibrations. You can also introduce them to books or videos about sound and musical instruments to expand their knowledge in a fun and interactive way.
