The Asteroids explored percussion instruments on Monday. We were shaking and hitting our instruments and testing to see whether they had a hard or soft sound or a loud or quiet sound. We all chose an instrument to play along with music on the board.
After that, we each chose a recycled container to make our own percussion instruments. We experimented with the sounds the different ‘noise makers’ made (lentils, rice, popcorn, cheerios, etc) and whether they were soft, hard, loud or quiet, then we chose which ‘noise maker’ we wanted to fill our own containers.
We had a great time investigating and making lots of noise!
