Students can write an opinion piece about the best musical instrument other than the instrument they created.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.3Students can write narratives to recall events and sounds from their “discovery walk.”CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.7Students can write a “how to” on the steps they took to create their instruments.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.8Students can use their background knowledge and experiences to gather information about sound(s).CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.1Students can discuss their observations and experiences through the various suggested activities.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.5Students can create a visual to present one of the activities they participated in and a description of what they learned from it.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.5.bStudents can categorize and classify instruments.CCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.5.cCCSS.ELA-Literacy.L.1.5.dStudents can use onomatopoeia to describe the sounds that the created instruments make.

CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.1CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.A.2CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.B.3CCSS.Math.Content.1.OA.B.4Students can practice subtraction using bear manipulatives or gummy bears by taking a whole number and by finding the missing parts after hiding some of the bears in a “bear cave” (i.e. Styrofoam bowl turned upside down with cave hole cut out). Students will solve various word problems using manipulatives (insects, stars, pom poms, etc.) Students will solve various word problems using manipulatives or their instruments (two color counters, bears, drum beats, etc.)CCSS.Math.Content.1.NBT.B.2Students can create various characters from the suggested text (i.e. insects, squirrel or elephant) using base ten manipulatives and count the amounts of tens and ones that were used. Students can incorporate music and sound by using drum beats (i.e. lower drum beat for tens and higher drum beat for ones) and count the amounts of tens and ones that were used to make a number. (Representing numbers and ten more and ten less can also be included after finding the number value for both activities.)CCSS.Math.Content.1.MD.C.4Students can graph the colors of bear manipulatives. Students can graph their response of “yes” or “no” to the essential question: “Do you think you need vibrations to make sound?” Students can graph the types of instruments.

Suggested Activities: *See the 1-PS4-1 Sound Activities PDF file located in the NGSS Physical Science Folder for additional explanations and directions for the Suggested Activities listed below.

(Can be completed as stations or whole-group)

•Vibrating Voices (hand, throat exercise)

•Using various materials to make a sound

•The Science of Sound Waves (metal spoons, metal forks, yarn, ruler)- The string to spoon, hold string/yarn to ears, tap round part of spoon with ruler to hear sound travel

•Talking Cups (plastic cups, yarn, sponge)

•The Big Splash (tuning fork, small plastic tub)

•Ping-Pong Bounce (ping pong ball, tape, yarn, tuning fork)

•Screaming Balloons (balloons, hex nuts, pennies)

•Sound Hose (plastic sound hose)

•Balloon Talk (balloons) - With partners, take turns holding balloon up to their ear while the other partner talks into it

•Sugar Shake (sugar granules, plastic bowl, saran wrap)- Cover containers with different materials, talk into cup to see vibrations; See the video here, see the lesson here. 1-PS4-1 Waves and Their Applications in Technologies

Can YOU Help?Our music teacher needs more

instruments!

Can you design and create something to add to the music

teacher’s collection?

Use a scrap sheet to brainstorm with your

groups. 1-PS4-1 Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

Group Work

Working in a group, create your instrument. Be ready to present

how your instrument works. Use what you learned in our investigation

to help you.

Use only the materials given to you.

Stellaluna

What is special about bats?What can they do that humans

don’t?What else uses echolocation?

Let’s listen to the echolocation song:

PS4-1 Optional Activities

Echolocation GameGo outside.

One person is blindfolded and is “the bat.”

The rest of the class is either an outdoor obstacle like a tree, car, bush, fence

ORThey are an insect.

Insects move and obstacles do not.The bat says “beep, beep” and sends out

his sound.If an obstacle is in the way, they say their

name “TREE.”If an insect is in the way, they say “buzz,

buzz.”When the bat catches an insect, the

round is over.PS4-1 Optional Activities

Echolocation Game DISCUSSION AND JOURNAL WRITE

What was the purpose of our game today?
