As a culmination to our Sound kit unit, we made homemade instruments.  I posted more about the project here. Some even played songs on them.  The students really did a great job.  Here are photos of their hard work.

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.

We watched our Wisconsin Fast Plants grow through all the stages of its life cycle.  Here is some of what we observed.  We also observed the water transport system of a plant by watching blue water change the color of red and pink flowers.  These can be found in our Photo Gallery.
