Sound Effects of a Rainstorm

We listened to sounds of videos, but didn’t watch the video. We listened to the sounds of a rainstorm, and then tried to reproduce the sound effects for a rainstorm using our hands and feet. We also used other tools like pie pans, cups of beans, rulers, cups, containers, etc.

Here are some videos from YouTube that we listened to plus some extras:

 

 

Waves

by

This week I did similar lessons with K-3rd, but adapted for the grade level. It was very interesting to watch the difference between the different grade levels and I think was valuable to all. Waves and energy are currently a 3rd grade science standard, but will soon be moving to first grade, so this is why I decided to use this activity with all K-3rd students.

What is a wave? We see waves in the ocean, but is that really the only type of wave?

Here are some items that students experimented with to make “waves”.

Here is also a video of Lego people forming a wave.

So what is the pattern we see?

Student drew a before diagram and after diagram of the pattern.
