Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 1 Basic Science and Technology. In our previous lesson, we learned about [link to previous lesson]. Today, we’re going to learn about Local Instruments That Produce Sound.
Objectives
By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
- Define local instruments.
- Identify local instruments that produce sound.
Local Instruments That Produce Sound
Local instruments are objects or devices that produce sound when blown, struck, or shaken. They are often made from materials found in the local environment, such as wood, metal, or animal skin.
Some of the common local instruments include:
- Drums: Drums are percussion instruments that produce sound when struck with a stick or hand. They are often made from hollow logs, animal skins, or clay pots.
- Flutes: Flutes are wind instruments that produce sound when air is blown across a hole in the instrument. They are often made from bamboo or wood.
- Rattles: Rattles are percussion instruments that produce sound when shaken. They are often made from gourds, shells, or beads.
- Xylophone: Xylophones are percussion instruments that produce sound when struck with a mallet. They are often made from wood or metal.
Evaluation Questions
Now that you’ve learned about local instruments that produce sound, let’s see if you can answer these questions:
- What are local instruments that produce sound?
- Can you name two local instruments that produce sound?
- What are some materials that local instruments are made from?
- How do drums produce sound?
- How do flutes produce sound?
Conclusion
Today, we learned about local instruments that produce sound. We discovered that these instruments are often made from materials found in the local environment and produce sound in different ways. Keep exploring the world around you and see what other interesting sounds you can find!
