Can you hear me now?

It is Friday which means Science. Once again, we gathered with some of our friends to explore the world of science together. The topic for the day was sound and sound waves.
It was fun to explore and better understand the value of two rather than one ear - with one ear closed off it was nary impossible to determine where the quick sound originated. The boys were all impressed and empowered by the notion that in their brains the do complicated math calculations each and every time they hear something - what an amazing design.
Teaming up in pair, the kids devised 'telephones' and passed funny and silly messages back and forth. For a generation that grew up on cell phones the notions of a line based phone was in some way a true novelty in a way that was not anticipated. Science is all about learning and new discoveries - exposing the brain and expanding the mind.
