FI Grade 3 Science

Sound & Hearing

I designed this unit to span the course of four weeks. The unit begins with pre-assessment for learning. Students used drawing to represent their knowledge of sound. 

​

Next, I taught a "hook" lesson featuring kinaesthetic activities and digital tools to generate a visual of sound waves. 

The next three weeks consisted of 10 engaging student-led centres with manipulatives; each centre took approximately 20 minutes for students to complete. Students recorded their learning from each station on activity pages.

​

I drew the unit to a close with another kinaesthetic game and ensuing group discussion. 

​

Assessment was done via observation, anecdotal notes, exit tickets, and a quiz.
