Sound Project

Due Monday, June 9^th

To go along with our sound unit, you will be making your own instrument.

• Please collect recycled or used materials to make an instrument. 
• Materials may include plastic jugs, cardboard boxes, shoe boxes, paper towel rolls, rubber bands, wood, beans, etc. 
•  Homemade instruments may resemble guitars, drums, tambourines, maracas, chimes, etc
•  You will be asked to show how your instrument produces sound and how you can change the sound (volume and/or pitch).
• We will discuss different ways to create instruments at school this week. You can also use the links below for ideas for instruments.  You can also find these links on our classroom blog.
