Have you ever noticed that there are loud sounds and quiet sounds? Have you listened to high sounds, like flute music and heard low sounds like a growling bear? What about the bubbling sound of soda or the cracking sound of fire works? You can even hear sounds that help you know how someone might be feeling. The sound of people shouting can tell you that they might be feeling angry or excited.

The closer your ear is to a sound, the louder the sound will seem. When you move farther away from the sound, the sound seems quieter. Use your ears to gather information with your sense of hearing!
