Students are introduced to how they produce sounds. In groups, they participate in experiments in which they measure sound and identify their five senses. Individually, they make their own musical instruments using different objects and explain the differences between the sounds. To end the lesson, they practice reading aloud to discover how their vocal cords operate.

First graders construct a KWL chart on sound. For this physics lesson, 1st graders describe different ways to produce sound. They explain how sound waves propagate.

Young scholars determine the style of place cards as well as how to display phots of artwork. They organize and design an art museum for parents and other students to enjoy. Young scholars create place cards to explain the artwork, artist, as well as information regarding the culture of the artist and the time period in which the artwork was created.
