Sounds all around
In BioMusic, page 1.1
In this integrated music and science lesson, students predict what sounds they would expect to hear in a particular habitat or under certain weather conditions. While listening to various soundscapes in groups, students record describing words in their science notebooks and then use pantomime to describe the origins of sounds. A concluding discussion focuses on natural and man-made sounds.
