Percussion Instruments

Grade/Class: Grade 4 Science and STEAM

Context: Students learn about sound waves in science class and also complete design projects in STEAM.

Learning: Students engaged in a fascinating project that blended science and STEAM learning. They studied sound waves and explored how they work, then applied this knowledge by building percussion instruments out of recyclable materials. This hands-on activity allowed students to see the science of sound in action as they created and experimented with their own instruments.
