Sound

The sound unit is one of my favorite units! During the unit we will learn about sounds, the ear, pitch, volume, conductors, insulators, and instruments. You will even get the chance to make your own instrument! I've pulled together much of what we will do into a SMART Technologies document. Below is a link to that document. It contains links to outside websites, videos, our Sound packet, and textbook. I also have a slideshow to showcase some of the instruments that were made by previous students. I hope you enjoy our discovery and exploration of SOUND!

Here are some projects from previous students...aren't they great?!!
