Art and Music Extension

This activity will incorporate both sounds and music. While at the prairie, the students will take note of the sounds they hear. When they return to school they will collaborate as a class on the sounds they heard and how those sounds could be made. Each student will make an instrument using every-day items to make one of the sounds they heard in the prairie. They will also decorate the instruments to make them resemble the sounds they represent. The students will play their instruments as a class and compare them to sounds from the prairie.

Students may use the following link as a reminder of some animals that may have made noises in prairies of the past and present.
