Third graders first focused on representing sound tactilely, or through touch. Using various materials, they created a beat that someone else could follow, adding a literary device that authors use to strengthen their writing: onomatopoeia!
After third graders learned and could distinguish between the various properties of sound (volume, pitch, and duration), they learned ways in which they could represent those properties visually.
Spectrograms are visual representations of sound. Third graders changed colors, shapes, and sizes of each of their spectrogram's components to show differences in sounds.
They listened to the alarm and flight calls of the fictitious bird: the Speckled Bubblebird!
