Building our Instruments!
March 12, 2018 at 12:27 pm
Now that we are learning all about Sound and Vibrations, it is time to put that new knowledge to the test by building our own Instruments! First, every student got their own piece of string to explore and see what sounds they could create through vibrations!We came up with some very creative ideas like: rubbing the string along another piece of string, the table, the chair, and more! We also found that we could hold one end of the string under our foot, and pluck it like a guitar string!
Next, Ms. Gillis showed us how to make "Head Harps". We tied the string together, put it on our head and pulled the string tight with our finger (not tight around our heads), then we plucked the string with our fingers! It was so fun to make the sounds by making the vibrations!
Keep Exploring,
Ms. Gillis
