They do this by programming the board to combine various electrical waves together to create sound for their unique instruments. Along the way, they explore the properties and physics of sound waves and use their instrument to learn about rhythm, chords, melodies, and to compose music. Students show off what they've learned by orchestrating a solo performance or forming an ensemble with classmates!]]> 2023-09-06 20:57:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687493219 Key Concepts k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687505651 Wave types, wave shapes, frequency, amplitude, pitch, keyboard, synthesizer, PCB, microcontroller, electrical signals, speakers, coding, variables, RGB pixel, conditionals, variable math, low pass filter, envelope, switch/case, keyboard, function, music, notes, octave, scale, melody, beat, rhythm, music bar, transcribe, ensemble, melody, harmony, bass, chords]]> 2023-09-06 21:13:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687505651 Essential Question k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687506117 How can we develop a device that enables us to create and modify sounds that we can use to compose and play music?]]> 2023-09-06 21:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687506117 Summary of Standards k8steam https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687508276 Common Core ELA
Students will participate in collaborative discussions, use grade-appropriate vocabulary, and ask and answer questions.

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
Students will use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves.

Computer Science Teaching Association Standards (CSTA)
Students will design projects that combine hardware and software components and systematically test and refine programs. 

Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)
Students will listen actively to interpret a message, synthesize information to create a new understanding and they will follow and give oral instructions that involve multiple action steps.]]> 2023-09-06 21:17:14 UTC https://padlet.com/tinkrworks/uc2pn7jzl5czs6zk/wish/2687508276
