Sound Unit

Joseph just finished Unit 3 of his Environment Concept in Moving Beyond the Page....SOUND. His final project was to come up with his own musical instrument. He had to design it, plan it and make it.
He WANTED to make a steel drum. We googled that and found out that it takes a 10 year apprenticeship to learn how to make a steel drum. But, we did find instruction on how to make a Dudup (DUH-dup). http://www.toucans.net/Toc/makeYourOwn.html
Joseph decided that he would make several of those and put them together to make a Joe-Dum.
So....Here it is! Ta-Da!

Weather Unit

He had to collect data for his Moving Beyond the Page unit on the weather for three days and today we did all three videos (we didn't have any batteries for his vidster before that ).
Notice the lovely assistants.
