ECO

We continued our sound waves unit at ECO today by experimenting with using sound to communicate over a distance.  The learners created a unique call or whistle sound with the knotweed whistles they made recently with Ken from NBNC and used them to signal their partners. We also had fun climbing at “Fallen Tree Camp”!

Light and Sound Waves

This month, we are spending ECO and classroom time exploring phenomena around light and sound waves. We have experimented with light waves to discover which things are translucent, transparent, opaque, or reflective, and are wondering about how sound waves are transmitted. Next week at ECO, we will try using sound or light waves to communicate with each other.  Ask your child to tell you more!
