Lesson Plan

Matter of Sound Lesson Plan

Students will explore how sound travels through solids, liquids, and gases by rotating through three inquiry-based stations, investigating pitch and volume, and recording observations to deepen understanding of matter states and sound.

This cross-curricular lesson connects NGSS PS1.A (States of Matter) with MU:Rhythmic and Sound Exploration, engaging students in hands-on science inquiry and musical awareness to foster curiosity, reinforce core concepts, and build observational skills.
