Science العلوم:
-
We talked about the signs
of spring and how the weather is changing. We focused on the migration of the
geese and made a nice experiment to hear the voice of the quacking geese. You
can make it at home too:
Bring a paper cup (not foam, not plastic).
Make a slit at the bottom.
Tie a wool thread to a paper clip.
Insert the paper clip from the slit at the bottom of the
cup.
Pull the thread out of the cup.
Bring a wet sponge, close it around the thread, and pull
from the top to the bottom of the thread.
You will hear a goose voice.
Enjoy!
