Making Music

Megan learned about sound this week.  Three glasses, each with varying amounts of water, were placed on the table.  Megan was to tap each glass with a spoon.  Each glass made a different sound due to the different vibrations that occurred with the different amounts of water.

Megan is a musical girl.  Always singing or drumming on things, she quickly realized that she could play "Mary had a Little Lamb" with the spoon on the glasses. 

We correlated the lesson with the angels singing praises to God after announcing the birth of the Messiah to the shepherds.  It was a fun lesson.
