Bangs and Twangs: Science fun with Sound

Bangs and Twangs: Science Fun with Sound is a great book for children to experiment with sound. This informational text is designed with great illustrations, character bubbles, and fun experiments that children can have while reading.

This text can obviously be used in a science class and children can do these experiments at school!

         2 Experiments in the Book

• The Dancing Sugar Experiment (Seeing Sound pg. 12 - 15).
• "Super Ears" (pg. 32) (Would do this one at home and at school) 

This would be for a  2nd - 3rd grade class.

I personally would recommend this book and other informational texts by Vicki Cobb. She has a complete series of these experimental books.

I haven't read any of them but they sure look interesting! When I pursue my teaching career, these would be a collection of books that I would like to read to my class for a science experiment.
