Geometry and Spatial Relations: Tessellations WOW!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.
Yogurt Cup Speakers
Source Institutions
Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.
Patterns and Relationships: The Magic Box
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.
Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.
Rhythm Painting
Source Institutions
In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.
Movin' and Groovin'
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.
Headphone Helper
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.
Kitchen Jamboree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.
AM in the PM
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.
Sing - Suchomimus Was His Name
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners sing together a song that gives details about the dinosaur species Suchomimus (pronounced “Sook-o-mime-us”).
Slide Whistle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a slide whistle using PVC pipe, bamboo skewer, and piece of foam. Construction of the instrument is relatively simple.
Wetland Preservation Art
Source Institutions
In this hands-on art and science activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners brainstorm and discuss how humans use wetlands, then express their understanding of the subject in artwork.
Probability: Rock Around The Clock
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the Monte Carlo method of simulation to determine a reasonable estimate.
Torsion Drum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.
Energetic Musical Instruments
Source Institutions
Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.
Bag Pipe
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own bagpipe instrument.
Make a Speaker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.
Chirping Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.
Thumb Piano
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.
