Sounds Like Science-Kazoo
Students demonstrate how energy is used to make a sound. In this sound lesson, students construct a kazoo from a comb and identify how a sound is made by using force.
Curated OER
Strum Along
Students engage in a instructional activity which takes something constructed by the class, that would be normally classified as just sound, then work together to make what can be perceived to be music. Students construct a basic...

Sounds Like Science - Drums
Students see that understanding how sound is produced makes it possible for us to manipulate it so we can decrease the number of unpleasant sounds we encounter. They make a drum to explore the concepts of force, pitch and volume.
Curated OER
Sounds Like Science-Guitars
Young scholars demonstrate the relationship between a sound and its frequency. In this sound and frequency lesson, students use an old tennis racket and nylon fishing line to create a guitar. Young scholars observe the pitch and frequency.

Changing Sounds
Students listen to sound. In this changing sounds instructional activity, students play instruments to help them hear volume and pitch. Students use the interactive whiteboard to experiment how change can make sounds go higher or lower.
Curated OER
Sound and Hearing
Students discover how sound is produced by objects and picked up and heard by humans. Using musical instruments, they identify how the quality can affect the loudness, pitch and tone of the sound. They develop their own instrument or a...
