Engineering Design Project: Design a Musical Instrument

1) ASK- Can you design and create a musical instrument out of recycled material? Can you play your instrument and test it out to make the sounds (pitch) higher and lower?

2) IMAGINE- LISTEN AND LEARN... Earth Day- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yl3zgcL0Tv8 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OasbYWF4_S8 How to Make DIY Musical Instruments for Kids-https://www.youtube.com/watch?

3) PLAN- What supplies can you use, or will you need?

Check your recycle bin and see what you can use to create with (example: cans, paper towel

tubes, toilet paper rolls, etc). Reuse any materials that you have at home and gather supplies (rubber bands, rice,

tape, balloons, markers, crayons, etc.) to make an instrument.

Use natural materials such as seeds, stones or sticks along with recycled materials.

4) CREATE & TEST-Have fun building! Play your instrument to test out how well it works. Does your instrument have a high or low pitch?

5) IMPROVE-What can you do to make your instrument even better? Can you decorate it? Do you need to add more materials to it? Is it staying together, or should you add more support like tape or staples to it?

6) COMMUNICATE/SHARE- Play your instrument for your family at home, or friends, classmates and family online.

Take pictures or videos of the process and/or of your finished project. Email your pictures and/or video clips to me at aszilagyi@wcskids.net.

I look forward to seeing (and hearing) your instruments! I’ll make a collage of instruments and post them on Bloomz for others to see.

“Put Something Silly In The World”ART HISTORY: April is National Poetry Month, so we’re looking to Shel Silverstein for inspiration…Shel Silverstein was born in 1930 in Chicago. He began writing and drawing at a young age. Silverstein is the author and illustrator of numerous books like A Light in the Attic, Where the Sidewalk Ends, and The Giving Tree. His illustrations are simple, energetic pen-and-ink illustrations. Silverstein’s books share his unique imagination and humor. His books are loved by countless adults and children. He died in 1999.

YOU’RE THE ARTIST: Read the Shel Silverstein poem “Put Something In” that is posted below. Or you can go to our Art-At-Home gallery using the link or QR Code to the left to listen to my recording. Then put something SILLY in the world! You might draw a crazy picture, write a nutty poem, sing a mumble-gumble song, or do a loony-goony dance ‘cross the kitchen floor!
