Students shake the containers and describe the sounds they hear. They predict what's inside. They record their predictions and then open the containers and compare predictions with actual results. Students shake several sealed containers and predict what's inside. They then try to find and match one container with another that has the same objects inside.
Students take turns wearing blindfolds and listening to a partner drop beans on the table.
One plus two or one plus one plus one. The students use different sound patterns through five. At the Listening Center , students listen to a prepared tape of various sounds and then guess what objects made the sounds, by matching sounds to picture cards. Then they sort the picture cards of sounds by soft and loud. Students listen to the sounds and arrange the pictures in the order in which they heard them.
