My Project

My students are so creative and curious. Currently, we are working on a PBL Science Project focused on sound where the students are working in groups to create their musical instruments, and then devising a secret code to pass messages! They are so excited to be brainstorming and planning their projects.

Supplies are necessary for science success!

These supplies, the tubes, rocks/beads, and various types of string will help them create their desired instruments. The journals will be utilized to document their work. The students have total choice and creativity in their projects. Once the instruments and codes are created, they will use the presentation boards to present their findings about sound.
