As part of their unit on "Sound", 2nd grade students
create a sculpture using a large turtle shape for the base of the sculpture.
Students then bring in a variety of items to glue to the turtle base.
|
|
Students need to keep in mind that the items they
will bring in will be struck or scraped over. They should be thinking
about the sounds that their items may make when being struck or scraped.
|
|
At home, students create unique mallets. Using
those mallets, the students perform on the "Fantasy Turtle" Sound Sculpture.
As they hit each item on the turtle's back, they identify and describe
the "pitch" (high,low), the "dynamics" (loud, soft), and the "tempo" (fast,
slow).
