Submit Final Project.

Your course objective states: consideration is given to helping the student organize curriculum materials and gain proficiency in presenting science to students. Your final project will be a hands-on project that must include all steps of the scientific inquiry process.

All projects will be due by October 11, 2019, with no exceptions.  Remember to include a header at the top of your assignment. I have uploaded sample project choices, or you may use your own.  They are as follows:

Coco-Nutty Music

Your projects will be submitted as a word document instead of a video project.  The word document should be double-spaced and should include a header, ie, your name, class, and assignment and should be at least 2 pages or more.  Your project report will include:

Introduction – Purpose of the project

Background – Should include scientific terms, definitions, and other pertinent scientific information as it relates to your project

Procedures and Data

Results and Conclusions and include your project predictions

Reference(s)

Include pictures of you completing your project and/ or diagrams for creativity in your reports.  The project rubric is attached.

What you need:

Coco-nutty Music

1. A coconut

What’s happening? The hollow shape of the coconut halves lets air bounce around inside them. The stiffness of the coconut fibers makes the force of the tapping or rubbing get into the air inside. The energy goes from you into the coconut and then into the air. How many different types of sounds can you make with your coconuts? Experimenting turns the making of music into a science.

HOME DEMO NO. 14

Many animals make music: grasshoppers, birds, whales, and gibbons all sing or at least seem to be singing. They sing to communicate with each other. Their songs have different meanings, depending on the order of the notes or tones. Some sing to stake a claim to their territory, while others sing to attract a mate.

You can make music too. Only instead of animal music, you can use a plant to make some cool sounds. Try this.

What you do: 1. Cut a coconut in half. Drain the milk and clean out the inside. 2. Tapping the halves against the floor sounds like a horse galloping. 3. If you place a sheet of paper between the halves and rub the halves together,

it sounds like someone is walking through snow.
