Lesson Plans

Name Description
Let's Make A Liquid Siren!:

In this integrated lesson plan, students will produce their own liquid siren to demonstrate how things that make sound vibrate.

Name That Siren!:

In this integrated lesson plan, students will identify people who have authority and power to make and enforce rules and laws in their school and community. Students will discover tools which produce sound that people of authority use to enforce rules.

WE CAN SEE AND FEEL SOUNDS!:

Students will identify different sound qualities that would happen in the classroom with the understanding of rules and laws in this integrated lesson plan.

Exploring Instruments in Kindergarten: This lesson allows students to explore a variety of musical instruments. This is a hands-on activity allowing students to discover the differences in sounds made by different instruments. Students will also gain practice in recording their observations in their science notebooks.
Recycled Music:

The students will design, create and demonstrate a musical instrument made from recycled materials.

Kindergarten Listening Walk:

Students will record what they hear on a nature walk. They will learn that sounds are all around us and that they are made by vibrations.

Did You Hear That?:

This lesson focuses on different sound qualities and being able to distinguish the different qualities. This lesson explains how vibrations cause sound to be produced. How sound travels is also explored during this lesson. These concepts are explored while children solve an engineering design challenge through guided inquiry.

Teaching Idea

Name Description
Sound Makers: This inquiry activity involves students building a working model to help them understand that sound is made from vibrations.

Unit/Lesson Sequence

Name Description
Vibrations Make Sound:

Students explore and discuss vibration and sound using a variety of common materials. Activities demonstrate connections between vibration, movement, sound, and waves using materials such as homemade drums, rubber bands, tuning forks, balloons, and water.
