Science: Sound Discrimination

The ability to identify sounds and tell sounds apart is called sound discrimination.

The students first challenge was to become familiar with the sounds made by each object that was being dropped. In the second challenge students had to try to guess the object that was being dropped by their classmates. Students did a great job and had a lot of fun!
