Children will develop a greater understanding of how sound is made by exploring the tempo, volume, and pitch of their voice or instruments.

Adaptations specific to this investigation are included in the resource.

Choose a space without a lot of echo or background noise, if possible.

• When labeling “deep” or “high” do so in a deep or high voice depending on the pitch
• If children are singing, have them put a hand on their throat to feel the vibration
• Some pitches and volumes can irritate children. Ask children/notice children’s cues to determine if a song, volume, or pitch is irritating
