Light and sound

Science

• The child learned that light travels in straight lines.
• The child learned that light can be reflected off surfaces.
• The child learned that sound travels in waves.
• The child learned that sound can be absorbed or reflected by different materials.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore different sources of light and sound in their environment. They can conduct simple experiments to observe how light reflects off different surfaces or how sound waves travel through different materials. They can also explore the concept of sound absorption by creating their own soundproofing materials using everyday objects like sponges or fabrics.
