Sound Engineers

Sound Engineers
Students in 1L and across the entire Westwood community have been studying sound over the past month! 

Wave Properties: Sound can make matter vibrate, and vibrating matter can make sound

Students participated in and designed several experiments that involved sound vibrations and how sound is created. We culminated our learning with a project based learning activity where students watched the Landfill Harmonic and attempted to design their own instruments out of recycled materials. Thank you all for your generous donations!

By the end of this unit students were able to...
1. Make an instrument that vibrates to make different sounds.
2. Demonstrate and explain what vibrates on their instruments.
3. Demonstrate and explain how they can change the pitch and volume of their instrument.






To extend thinking and review learned content, please see the video titled, "Sound" in Brainpop Jr. 



Love,
Mrs. L
