Boomwhackers!

Students experimented with boomwhackers.  In doing so, they learned about the difference between pitch and volume.  Volume is how loud or quiet a sound is.  Students tapped the boomwhachers gently for a quiet sound and strongly for a loud sound.  They could also hear the different high and low pitches depending on the size of the boomwhacker as demonstrated below.
