This week in STEM Mrs. Smith's 1st grade class engineered their own kazoos to explore sounds and vibrations. Before we began our lesson students made predictions as to what materials would create the loudest/clearest sound. Tin foil, saran wrap, or wax paper? Students were allowed to express their creative side by decorating their kazoos! Ask your child to play a song for you on their new recycled musical instrument.
Here is our workstation before the 1st grade engineers got to work!
We will continue our exploration of sounds and vibrations in the coming weeks. In the meantime, ask your child how sounds are made or to sing our sound song (it's pretty catchy, so don't be surprised if you find yourself singing it on your own).
