Companion summary

Have you ever heard a big dog bark and a tiny mouse squeak — which one sounds higher? Sounds go high and low all around you, from a fire truck's siren to a rumbling tummy! A piano makes its lowest sounds on the left side and its highest sounds on the right side. When you finish, try humming as high as you can, then as low as you can, and feel the difference.

Listen!

Listen!

Put your hands on your ears. Now take them off! Can you hear sounds around you? Some sounds go UP high, like a bird tweet. Some sounds go DOWN low, like a big drum boom.

💭 Think about this

Can you make a high sound with your voice? Now try a low sound!
