5-E Learning Cycle

Engage

Show the students what a tuning fork sounds like when we hit it on our foot and have the students listen to it ring. What do you hear, why do you think you can hear that? Next they get to have a short exploration on their own. We will place a tuning fork at each table and tell the students to explore it with their group. Emphasis not to hit it on the table or hard objects!

Explore

Formative Assessment Plan & Evidence

What evidence will you gather to understand if all of your students met the learning outcomes you described above?

• The exit ticket.

Accommodations and Modifications

What needs do you anticipate students might need based on prior experiences?

• Sitting in small groups vs. sitting individually.

• Reading the text aloud as a class.

• Ask students if they know what a xylophone is. After some discussion, we will tell the kids that we will be making water xylophones today.

• Students will experiment with the different jars as they tap them with their chopsticks. They will observe what they experience before and after they tap the jars, and write it down on the worksheet provided.

  • It is important to make expectations of their behavior and for the materials very clear.

• Students will also experiment with the different tuning forks provided at the table. Students will hit the tuning forks on the bottom of their shoes (as demonstrated) and explore why/how the vibrations are made.

Explain

• Ask students questions about the exploration with the jars, such as “Why do you think       happened?” “How do you think the sound was made when you tapped the jar?”

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODEmeI_sAoI

• Students will watch a video of the water xylophone, and make note of the similarities and differences that they noticed from their own exploration.

• Read a book that associates sound/music, incorporates pauses and engagement spots.

Evaluate

• Students will be given an exit ticket, in which they will answer “3 things I learned today, 2 things I found interesting, and 1 thing I still have a question about.” (write it on the board and students are given a paper)

5-E Learning Cycle

Engage

• We will begin by asking students what they can recall about what they learned about sound energy last week. Students will begin creating a personal concept map with their ideas from last week. We will have a small discussion about the maps they created.

• Next we will use the speaker and a piece of paper to demonstrate/explore how sound moves through air. Afterward, students will turn and talk with their group about why they think that happened. We will discuss this as a class, and then students will add ideas to their concept maps again based on the class discussion.

Explore

• Teachers will demonstrate with the vacuum bell jar kit and show multiple ways in which the sound can be covered. Students will first observe and then begin to write down observations during the demonstration.

Explain

• Teachers will lead a discussion about the student observations from the vacuum activity. During this, students will share their observations and talk about how these observations help them understand the relationship between sound waves and how they move through air.

• Sound waves moving in air/water

5-E Learning Cycle

Engage

• One group of students will be using tuning forks to discover how sound travels through solids such as the table, the glass wall, or their shoe. They will observe what they hear out loud.

• The other group will be doing a different activity which involves a big bucket with water and a two liter bottle inside of it. One of the teachers will be clicking spoons at the bottom of the bucket while the child's ear is in the liter bottle that is open at the top. They will observe what they hear.

• After each group has done both activities, they will complete a Venn Diagram with their table groups comparing the activities. (If they do not know how to make one, we will show them how)

Explore

• String cup phone activity.

  • Students will be in pairs (and one group of three) working on building a phone out of two cups and a various amount of string to choose from (twine, yarn, and fishing line).

  • Teachers will be helping tie knots and whatever else the students may have difficulty with in their experiment.

    • Cups will have holes in them prior to the experiment.

• Questions to ask during explanation of activity:

  • How loud do you think you need to talk into the cup?

  • What happens when the string is pulled tight between you two?

    • What happens when the string is relaxed between you two?

Explain

• Discussion following the activity about what the students noticed and how it ties back into our previous lessons.
