Sunday we continued our tour of sound by using our ears to differentiate a variety of familiar sounds.

Among other things, we heard…

popcorn popping (and got to eat some)…
a can of root beer opening (and got to drink some)…

And when a student pointed out that the tour “was getting boring” we talked about the boredom of summer vacation and how to cope.  Some excellent suggestions were made. Like… “When you’re looking out the car window you can pretend you’re in a rocket ship blasting off.  (Never underestimate the power of boredom.)
