- They understand that sound travels through different mediums, such as air, water, and solids.
- They discovered that different objects and materials produce different sounds due to their size, shape, and material.

For continued development, encourage the child to explore how different musical instruments produce sound and how changing elements of the instruments, such as the tension of guitar strings or the size of a drum, affects the sound produced. They can also experiment with creating their own musical instruments using common household items.
