Ask your student about what centers they visited and what they observed about the pitch of sound.

2nd graders were amazed by the Star Wars sounds that were created by hooking a HUGE, garage door spring up to a coffee can amplifier. Ask your student to tell you about it! Afterward each student constructed their own rubber band amplifier. Hopefully your child's amplifier remained in tact on the ride home.
This week 2D and 2G played Sound Pictionary. Each student was given a sound word that they illustrated on the SmartBoard. Some of the words were vibrate, molecule, and tuning fork. Ask your student what sound word he or she worked on.
Lyrics:
Sound travels through your ear,
Please listen, have no fear...
First your pinna-the part that's like a finna!
Then your ear canal-it's full of gas my pal.
Next comes drum-ra ta ta ta tum!
Then those 3 bones-they don't make no tones.
The cochlea has hair-sounds they do share!
Hey-you just got served by the hearing nerve.
The brain comes last-we learned it in science class!
**On a final note...the 3 bones that are mentioned in the song, are the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup. These are the 3 smallest bones in the human body!
Here are the lyrics so you can sing along:
-Sound travels better through solid than gas.
-It always has a message to pass.
-sound bounces, sound bounces, sound bounces
-You need to use your ears more than eyes.
-Listen well and you'll be wise.
-sound bounces, sound bounces, sound bounces
-Sound makes molecules vibrate and shake.
-For a sound wave it's a mini earthquake.
-sound bounces, sound bounces, sound bounces
-Goes through the canal, then hits the drum.
-Listen closely and you'll hear people hum.
-sound bounces, sound bounces, sound bounces
-Your eardrum protects your inner ear.
-To the wax dirt will adhere.
-sound bounces, sound bounces, sound bounces
-Three little bones, then hits the brain.
-Too much noise drives me insane!
-sound bounces, sound bounces, sound bounces
