The Final Homemade Instrument Videos
May 13, 2012 on 10:18 pm | In Sound, video | No CommentsWe have finished our Sound unit and made Homemade Instruments. Students brought in their instruments and presented them to the class. They told us about the instrument and how it worked. They also had to explain:
- How it makes sound and how we hear it.
- How to change the pitch.
- Extra Credit for playing a song.
I uploaded these videos to our
channel and I am posting them here.

Taking care of a Fiddler Crab
January 13, 2012 on 8:47 am | In Science | No CommentsWe have adopted out all our fidder crabs. Here are links to sites that I found that tell you how to care for fiddler crabs. Basically sand and salt water. We fed them dried plankton. You can find the supplies you need at a pet store or pet department of a store.
