Summary:
The goal of the Creation & Sound Module is to teach kids how creativity and self-expression apply to identifying and solving problems. Topics in this module include art, sound, color, tempo, rhyming, and literature. STEAM Academy offers an interdisciplinary approach that weaves together the science, technology, engineering, art, and math skills learned in the classroom and connects them to things kids see every day. Just what is in this secret recipe? Kids taste it and make some wild guesses in this eBook narrated by Anthony Bourdain. For more than 65 years, Highlights for Children has been helping kids become their best selves through Fun with a PurposeTM magazines, games, books, and digital products.

By following four steps: create, present, respond, and connect! This is a timeline of the life of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart from 1756 to 1791. One of the most celebrated and influential composers in the history of music, Mozart began his musical journey as a young child. Despite his untimely death at the age of 35, he left behind a legacy of over 600 compositions, including some of the most renowned works in Classical music. Using SEEK questions helps us to discover and learn about the world -- and see art in new ways!.
