Hey there! Welcome to Kids Academy! I’m Andrew, and this is my friend Molly. Hi everyone! Today, we’re going to learn about something super cool that we hear every day—sounds!
Sounds are all around us, and they come from something called sound sources. A sound source is anything that makes a sound. Sounds are a type of energy. So, if something is making a sound, it’s using energy. If it’s not using energy, it won’t make a sound.
For example, if a fan is turned off, it doesn’t make any sound because it’s not using energy. But when we turn it on, it starts using energy, and we can hear it! Isn’t that neat?
Let’s look for sound sources around the house. Listen carefully to the refrigerator. Can you hear it humming? That’s a sound! Some sounds are loud, like a barking dog, and some are quiet, like a whisper. We can find sounds everywhere: in our house, on the streets, around town, and even in the sky!
Now, let’s play a fun game! Can you guess these common sounds from around the house and the neighborhood? Listen closely and see if you can figure them out!
So, Molly, what did we learn today? I learned that sound is energy and it comes from sound sources. Sound sources are all around us all the time.
That’s right! Great job! Now, Molly and I are off to listen to some music. We hope you had fun learning about sounds with us!
Don’t forget to check out more fun videos and activities. See you next time!
Sound Hunt: Go on a sound hunt around your home or classroom! Make a list of different sound sources you find. Try to find at least five different sounds. Can you identify if they are loud or quiet? Discuss with a friend or family member why each sound source makes noise and what kind of energy it might be using.
Sound Experiment: Create your own simple sound source using a rubber band and a small box or container. Stretch the rubber band around the box and pluck it to make a sound. Try plucking it harder or softer. What happens to the sound? Talk about how the energy you use changes the sound you hear.
Sound Story: Imagine you are a sound detective! Write a short story about a day in your life where you have to solve a mystery using only the sounds you hear. What sounds help you solve the mystery? Share your story with your class or family and discuss how sounds can give us important clues about the world around us.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hey everybody, I’m Andrew and this is Molly. Hi everyone! Together, we’re going to be explaining the type of science that affects you every day.
Oh hey, Molly! We were just listening to some sounds. Where do sounds come from? That’s a good question, Molly! Let’s explore.
Sounds are all around us, and they come from sound sources. A sound source is anything that makes sound. Sound is a type of energy; therefore, anything that makes sound is also using energy. If it’s not using energy, it’s not making sound. For example, this device right now is off; it’s not using any energy. If we listen to it, it doesn’t make any sound. If I turn it on and it starts using energy, then we should be able to hear it.
Now that the fan is using energy, we can hear it making sound. We can find sources of sound around the house, like this refrigerator. If you listen, you can hear it humming. Some sounds are loud, and some sounds are really quiet. Sources of sound are everywhere: in our house, in the streets, around town, and even in the sky.
Now let’s see if you can identify these common sounds from around the house and the neighborhood.
So, Molly, what are some of the things that we’ve learned today? I learned that sound is energy and it comes from sound sources. Sound sources are all around us all the time.
That’s right! Good job! Now, if you’ll excuse us, Molly and I have some tunes to listen to.
