Sounds Around

Second graders investigate sound and vibrations. In this sound lesson plan, 2nd graders examine how sound is different in different areas of the school such as the library, playground, and gymnasium. They determine how sound would need...

Long, rippled, plastic tubes are swung around in circles, making air pass through them, and creating sound waves. This is a simple and inexpensive toy that you can let learners experiment with as they learn about sound and pitch. Go...

Students observe a variety of sounds which can be heard within their schoolyard habitat by sitting quietly by themselves for five minutes, listening, and then recording the sounds around them by drawing them.

Students explore the world of sound by discovering inside and outside sounds, animal sounds, silent sounds, and more. In this sound lesson plan, students draw pictures, listen and write, and find their "mate" by using the sounds they hear.

Students observe and hear sound being created in two simple experiments. In this sound lesson, the students listen to the vibration of a swinging hanger and hit blocks together to create a percussion sound.

Students learn that vibration makes different types of sounds. In this sound lesson, students perform experiments to understand vibrations and high and low pitch sounds. Students learn that sound travels differently through different...

Second graders identify the different function and parts of the ear. In this physics lesson, 2nd graders explain how we hear sound. They read about the life of Helen Keller and respond to questions that follow.

Students learn that sound waves can be directed and collected. In this sound wave experiment, students create and collect sound waves. Students learn sound waves travel differently through different states of matter.

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.
