Day 1: Catching vibrations: How do we hear?
Scientists investigate.
Whisper to a family member. How far away can you still hear the whisper?
Talk in a regular voice. How far away can you move and still hear the person?
Talk about: How far do you think you can be and still hear a shout? (or loud voice). Try it out. Were you surprised?
Repeat the whisper, talking and shouting while holding your hand to your voice box on the front of your neck. What do you feel? Does a whisper feel the same as talking?
See and listen to a read-aloud: Sounds All Around
Look around you. What can you find that will vibrate? Do different things make different sounds? How can you describe them? Can you put them into groups?

Go, Slow Whoa:
Go foods are foods you can eat almost any time you want! They are the most nutritious and healthy foods for your body. Some examples of Go foods are fruits, vegetables, skim milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt, and whole grains like oatmeal and whole wheat bread.
Slow foods are “sometimes” foods. They aren’t off-limits, but they definitely aren’t as nutritious as Go foods. Some examples of Slow foods are peanut butter, nuts, canned fruits and vegetables, white bread, 2% milk, and fruit juice.
Whoa foods are the least healthy foods and should only be eaten every once in a while or on special occasions. They are often high in fat and sugar, and if you eat too many Whoa foods, you won’t be as healthy! Some examples are cake, ice cream, fast food, sodas, and hamburgers.
A healthy diet contains all types of foods, but some are better for you than others because they are more nutritious and more helpful in keeping your body healthy. Our three categories - 'go', 'slow', and 'whoa can help us keep on track with making healthy decisions.
Review examples of foods in each of the three Go, Slow and Whoa categories on this HANDOUT.
Choose your two favorite foods in each category.
Using this traffic light TEMPLATE and draw examples of Go, Slow and Whoa foods.
