Teaching sound concepts to second graders can be challenging, it is something we hear, not see. Using Boomwhackers and tuning forks, students can experiment with different pitches and see the vibration in objects. Students will get a hands on approach to looking at different columns of air and how it relates to pitch. Boomwhackers come in different lengths so students see that if the column of air is longer, the pitch is lower. Students can experiment on how the different pitches are put together to produce the sound we hear. Tuning forks allow students to experiment with column length as well as see and feel the vibration of the sound waves.
