Instruments

Dear Parents and Students,

In our science class we have been exploring hearing and sound.  Students will be asked to design, build and test a musical instrument at school to reinforce the concepts learned. Working as a scientist, your job is to find materials around home, which can be brought to school and be used to create an instrument. All materials collected will be shared amongst the whole class.

The students have started compiling a list of materials that could be used to build their instrument. The students understand that their instrument must be able to create different types of sound, as well as include their understanding of pitch and amplitude. Here is the list of materials the students compiled but other materials are welcome:
newspaper, rubber bands, cans, balloons, plastic containers, pipe cleaners, cardboard boxes, string/yarn/fishing line, popsicle sticks, paper, tinfoil, saran wrap, wax paper, rice, beads, beans, macaroni, sticks, bubblewrap, Ziploc bags, straws, small pieces of wood, wrapping paper/paper towel rolls

Please do not go out and buy items, but only send materials that do not need to be returned! The grade two/three team will supply tape and other adhesive materials.

Please bring all supplies to school by Friday, January 10, 2020. You are welcome to bring supplies in before the winter break!
