Watched How Ridiculous

Music

• The Grade 3 student learned about rhythm and beat through the sounds and music used in the "How Ridiculous" videos.
• They observed different sound effects and music used to enhance the viewing experience and understood the impact of sound on emotions.
• The student learned about the idea of tempo and how it can change the mood of a video or a piece of music.
• They might have also picked up on the use of music to build tension and excitement during the videos.

Science

• The student observed various scientific principles in action, such as gravity and motion, through the experiments and stunts performed by How Ridiculous.
• They learned about the concept of potential and kinetic energy as objects were dropped from heights and transformed that energy into motion.
• They might have gained an understanding of forces and motion as they witnessed the impact of different objects hitting targets or surfaces.
• The student may have also learned about the importance of safety and protective gear during these scientific experiments.

Encourage the Grade 3 student to engage in more hands-on learning activities related to music and science. They can try creating their own rhythms and beats using household items, or conduct simple physics experiments at home. This will allow them to apply the concepts they learned from "How Ridiculous" in a fun and interactive way.
