2nd graders have been learning about sound in Science. Students learned how musical instruments can be played by blowing, plucking, stroking, or striking. They also learned that sound can have a high or a low pitch. Students had fun experimenting with pitch by making duck calls with a straw. To wrap up the unit on sound, each student was given the task of constructing their own musical instrument that makes a sound. They were encouraged to try to show two ranges of pitch. The results were amazing! They did an excellent job!
