Discovery Learning - Music and Sound
This term our STEM focus has included The Arts - we are enjoying STEAM sessions on Wednesday afternoons, that are supported by our Literacy and Maths learning activities related to our focus on Music and Sound.
This term we have used a discovery learning approach. We have had a variety of different musical instruments to investigate and play. We have learnt about different types of musical instruments and how different materials are used to make different sounds in different families of instruments - string, percussion, brass, wind.
We have carried out a variety of activities to learn about sound and how certain materials can be used to make particular sounds.
Our aim is to design and make a musical instrument of our own.
Each student has used what they have learnt about musical instruments, and how sound is produced to create a plan to make their own musical instrument, using labelled diagrams to show what the instrument will look like. Our plans include the materials we need, and the steps we will use to create our instrument.
Some students are using Google Drawings to draft their plans - check out Zandor's cool plan for his Box Guitar.
