Second Grade Sound

The 2nd graders are just about finished making all kinds of "noise" in the science lab. They have completed lab investigations which helped them learn about pitch, volume, sound waves, materials sound can travel through, and how to amplify sounds. Students used a slinky to demonstrate sound waves, dominoes to model how sound moves through solids, liquids, and gases, and boomwhackers to demonstrate pitch and volume. Students also made sound tubes and sound boxes to amplify sounds. It was definitely a "joyful" noise coming from the science lab over the last few weeks.
