  1. How it makes sound and how we hear it.
  2. How to change the pitch.
  3. Extra Credit for playing a song.

I uploaded these videos to our  channel and I am posting them here.

In sand, fiddler crabs have no problem digging burrows.

We 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.

Some even played songs on them.  The students really did a great job.  Here are photos of their hard work.

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.
