Let's Learn About Sound

Help me give my students the knowledge of sound. How is sound made?

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fitch's classroom raised $586

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will learn the science of sound. At the end of the unit, they will know what sound is, how sound is made, and why we cannot see sound with the naked eye but we can see it with special items.

They will also learn that sound causes vibrations and vibrations cause sound.

This will be an exciting lesson for all music students, so the orchestra, choir, and band students will experience these wonderful, beautiful lessons on sound, the production of sound, vibrations, sound waves, sound underwater, and much more!
