Music To Our Ears

In the past two weeks, we have been focusing on a certain energy that we cannot get away from: sound. The kids have been learning how sound travels, how it goes through solids, and how it can bounce back to make an echo.

The students have been able to explore different instruments and listen to the various pitches each one can make. 
Mrs. Massey let us check out her guitar.
Azar was making a megaphone to show how sound energy can travel over to Miss Stanford's room.
Eliana's group were listening to the different sounds made by Mrs. Reeves homemade maracas.
Braylon was recording the different parts that make the system we called an instrument. 

The rest of the week, we will finish up our unit by creating our own instruments. The students had to make a blue print and a list of materials. So far, we have made a kazoo with a paper roll, wax paper, and a rubber band. 

Thank you Mr. Berg for coming to help us as a Watch Dog Dad. The students and Amelia loved it! 
Brain breaks are the best, especially with a dad dancing!
