Description
Music in Our Schools Activity - Oh no! The band can't play in the parade because the truck carrying their musical instruments is stuck in traffic. Have your students help the band by creating a variety of musical instruments. They must use the available supplies to engineer something that will make sound while sticking to a budget. This project can be modified to use for very young students to more advanced students. It is perfect to use with your Science unit on Sound or it can be used during "Music in Our Schools" Month. Students will love to stretch their creative thinking brains to create a musical instrument!
