About This Item
Description
Comprehensive, affordable and effective, Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) Kits provide an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to teaching a specific science topic through the use of activities and investigative equipment. Delta Science Modules Sound Complete Kit will have your class explore how sounds are produced and how the sense of hearing detects and interprets sounds. Sound surrounds us; in fact, students will discover that they cannot create silence! They will first use tuning forks to see and feel the vibrations that are sound waves. Next, students will make ear trumpets to catch and amplify sounds just as ears do. They’ll experiment with echoes to see which surfaces absorb or reflect sound waves. Students will even get a chance to make their own music! They will model percussion, stringed, and wind instruments as they create sounds by striking, plucking, and blowing. They will also learn to vary pitch and volume by varying string thickness and tension. For a concluding concert, students will tune an orchestra of original instruments.
Along with the kit activities, the Sound Delta Science Reader (and complementary Skillbuilders booklet that helps students practice reading/grammar/writing/vocabulary skills with the content from the Delta Science Reader) will get your students to read about what causes sound, how sound travels, and how sounds are different. They will also: learn how our voices and ears work to allow us to speak and hear; discover how different types of musical instruments make sounds; read about audiologists, people who test hearing; and finally, find out how certain animals use echolocation to find out about their surroundings.
Delta Science Modules Edition 3 (DSM-3) consist of a total of 59 assorted kits ranging from Grade K to 8 levels, each with a step-by-step teacher guide, student readers, 12-14 interconnected activities, and enough equipment to serve up to 32 students. Select kits also contain a pre-paid coupon for Living materials. Educators have the flexibility to have students follow the detailed activities that are provided, or customize their own curriculum plan with the equipment provided.
