Collaborative Sound Art Project
- Record a sound in Scratch or with an app like "Online Voice Recorder."
- Have students remix the previous project entry and code sound art in Scratch. (Here is a Scratch Project to get you started.)
Have students draw the onomatopoeia word for their sound. Collect all of them and plug into the last project to have one project that has all the sounds from all the students.
Interview Anything Project
Ask students to find something in their house or room to interview. Imagine the questions you might ask the object and how it might respond!
