Preview: "Light & Sound" On-Demand Video Lesson
Have your light detectors (eyes) and sound detectors (ears) ready! We’re building a “Mini Movie Machine” and “Musical Measuring Stick” while exploring Light and Sound Sources, Vibrations, Pitch, Opacity and more!
Grade: K-3
Length: 60-90 minutes.
Group Size: 15-150 students.
Students need: “Light and Sound” Toymaker Kits, colored markers, stapler, tape.
More Info: Your primary students will experience a fun-filled, hands-on toy-building adventure that directly supports and extends national science standards around the topic of Light and Sound.
Professional toy inventor and nationally recognized educator Rick “Mister Toymaker” Hartman provides the instruction with a Video-Guided (On-Demand) lesson teeming with scientific surprises, entertaining demonstrations and informative content.
Your students will use simple materials like wood blocks, wheels and rubber bands to build two fascinating toys that demonstrate important concepts studied in classrooms. Topics like: light and sound sources, receivers, optical illusions, properties (e.g. transparency, translucence, opacity), pitch, volume and vibration.
Perfect for curriculum enhancement, "In-School Field Trips," and other special occasions, the "Light and Sound" workshop promises to be a "Best Day Ever" for students, teachers, and parent volunteers alike!
