Sound – Homemade Instruments

April 19, 2010 on 9:31 am | In Sound | No Comments

The final project of our Sound Unit in science was to create a homemade instrument.  Then they had to present it to us.  They had to present:

  • How they made it and how it works
  • How we hear the sound it makes
  • How they change the pitch

They worked really hard on them, and we enjoyed their presentations.  I uploaded these videos to Schooltube, so we can see them here.

We are finishing our unit on sound.  Our final project is to make an instrument.

I sent home this letter and scoring guide to explain the project.

I also sent these examples of homemade instruments.  This site also has ideas for homemade instruments.
