The goal of the Creation & Sound Module is to teach kids how creativity and self-expression apply to identifying and solving problems. Topics in this module include art, sound, color, tempo, rhyming, and literature.
STEAM Academy offers an interdisciplinary approach that weaves together the science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills learned in the classroom and connects them to things kids see every day.
Can You Name These Sounds?
Did you know that sound is what we call "sound waves," ripples that move through the air to your ears. When a fire truck is racing toward a fire, the loud siren lets everyone know that it is coming. Can you name these familiar sounds? Let's find out. Kids will enjoy following along word-for-word with the lyrics to this song and stay engaged and entertained while learning. Learning with music is easy and fun and a proven way for children to learn basic skills.
