My project needs a Wave Model and several SciQuest Sound Demonstration kits.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Pockrass's classroom raised $570
This project is fully funded
I teach General Music in the Indianapolis Public Schools district. We are projected to have over three hundred students in the school in grades K-6.
According to the Music standards, I am suppose to teach the science of sound starting in grade 4. However, I do not have any equipment to show the students the physical science of sound.
I want to set up a program for fourth through sixth grade having students work on the scientific method of experimenting with sound. The resources I have requested will give students in all three grades the opportunity for this program. Also, this project would satisfy the Music Standard applying Music to other subjects.
A lot of times I apply Music to Math and Language Arts, but I have not had much opportunity to apply Music to Science because of supplies. You can help bridge that gap with supplying us with these sound kits and a wave model.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
