BOOMWHACKERS!!

This week, students had the opportunity to use Boomwhackers!!! We learned that the longer tubes make low sounds and the shorter tubes make high sounds. We also discovered that the largest tube "C" made the lowest sound, while the shortest tube, also a "C", made the highest sound. 

Students were given the chance to perform different rhythms on the Boomwhackers by hitting them on the ground or with a partner. We explored what happens when you hit 2 different Boomwhackers together... it creates an interval!

Finally, the students were given the Boomwhackers they needed to perform a familiar song "Twinkle Twinkle" and were asked to try and figure out in which order the Boomwhackers needed to be played. 

We finished the class by performing the song "Twinkle Twinkle" as a whole class.
