DIGITAL DOWNLOAD: you receive a printable US Letter PDF to print at home or school. No physical book is shipped.

This booklet traces a sound from the moment it starts vibrating to the moment the ear actually hears it, and a Grade 4 teacher gets the whole unit finished and ready to go. The text explains how sound is made and how it moves through the air, then breaks down exactly how the ear turns vibration into something we notice. Two linked questions compare big vibrations against small ones and high sounds against low ones before a closing part looks at managing noise in daily life. Every section links to a free Brenda Hayles video on YouTube. A labeled ear diagram pairs with color photos of vibrating objects throughout, and new terms including vibration and pitch get defined at the back. NGSS codes 1-PS4-1, 4-LS1-2 and 4-PS4-1 are covered.

Inside:

• Six sections, from how sound travels to the ear
• A linked video for every section
• A labeled ear diagram beside color photos of vibration
• A glossary covering vibration and pitch
