visit to listen to sound

In science we have been learning all about sound. We talked about how sound comes from objects that vibrate.  We learned what vibrate, pitch and volume mean by doing some hands on labs with rulers and straws. The students discovered that if they put their lips together and blow air their lips vibrate and make sound! This led into our lesson about instruments and how they make sound. One day we went to listen to the Bethlehem band and Mrs. Weiss talked to us about some of the instruments. She demonstrated how they make sound and let us feel vibrations from the drum and cymbal.
