Sound Waves...Visualized!

Help me give my students materials to visualize sound waves and create their own instruments.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Voorhees's classroom raised $566

My Students

I'm in the unique position as a BTS Arts music specialist to see all of the students at my school. I get to integrate the classroom cores with the music core to really bring learning to life. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, my students have had to cut collaborative projects and hands-on exploration. They've had to limit their experiences to their screens.

My students thrive off of interactive experiences and creative discovery, and I want to see that light in their eyes again.

I want to help bring some of the joy of learning back through real-world exploration.

My Project

My students love hands-on learning, and COVID, unfortunately, has taken a lot of that away from them. I plan to use these materials to give a little bit of that magical discovery experience back to them.

I'd like to help me students "see" sound waves and create their own instruments to experiment with the science of waves.

The materials I've requested will be used to give my students visual representations of how sound waves are created, the effects that sound waves have on objects around them, and the beauty that sound can create through improvised music. My students will be able to do hands-on experiments in a COVID friendly space because there will be enough materials for all of the students to explore and create on their own.
