PLANET PEA-PLE SIRI 29

Empty paper towel

tube

Two large craft sticks

Thoughtful Learning

Try pressing each rubber

band down on the craft stick.

Notice how this changes the

sound the rubber band makes.

Wrap each rubber band around the tissue box

lengthwise so they rest on the craft sticks

Hold your guitar by the paper towel roll, and gently

pluck each rubber band

Remove the plastic inside the hole of the tissue box

Use tape to attach the paper towel tube to one short end of the tissue box. Make sure it is lined up with the box’s hole

Glue a craft stick to each end of the hole in the tissue box. The sticks

should be perpendicular to the direction of the hole and close to its

edges

Choose one rubber band and pluck it. Listen carefully to the

sound it makes. Press your finger down on the rubber band so

that it is pinched between your finger and one of the craft sticks

Aim

The aim of this lesson is to

help young students

understand the

fundamental concept of

sounds are and to engage

them in a hands-on activity

where they can build a

simple musical instrument

to explore this concept.

Scientific Attitude

&

Noble Value

Students apply their

knowledge of the scientific

concept that vibrations cause

sound to the construction and

use of the rubber band guitar.

APPLYING

They observe and analyze how

different factors, such as the

tension of the rubber band,

affect the pitch and volume of

the sound produced.

ANALYZING

Evaluate the effectiveness of their

rubber band guitar by considering how

well it produces sound. They can alsoevaluate and compare the sounds

produced by different rubber band

guitars within their group or amongother groups.

EVALUATING

They also have the opportunity to

be creative in how they decorate

or personalize their guitars. They

create music by plucking the

rubber band, exploring different

pitches and tones.

The framework aligns with the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards)

"What do you notice happening when you pluck the rubber

band?"

"Why do you think the rubber band vibrates when you pluck it?"

"How does changing the tension of the rubber band affect the

sound it produces?"
