Making Sense of Sound
Wed, Nov 08, 2017 6:10 PM
Sound
This article was very informative. It gave great examples of how to teach sound and how to bring the discussion into the classroom. For example, it talked about drawing the students into the lesson by using a cartoon where the characters are arguing, and then having the students back up what character they agreed with. The students would then have to support their idea by showing evidence. This is a very good way to get the students involved and actually caring about what they are doing. The article also goes into an explanation of how to introduce the different materials and how to take care of them, which is very helpful. Then the article gives many ways that the teacher can extend the lesson. Overall, this article is very helpful when thinking about how to introduce sound to students.

Hands-on Activities
This article was very informative, with many different hands-on examples on how to teach young students about sound waves. The teacher had the students in groups, at each table they had a different activity with questions about what they observed. All of the questions made the students think beyond just their observations. The article also discussed what many of the students wrote for each question, letting the reader understand what they should be looking for. Overall, this article was very helpful and showed that the students enjoyed the activities since many went on to test out more information than they had to.
