I built my own laser light sound visualizer. Using a tone generator and multiple tones you can create some awesome light patterns. We showed this to all of our physical science classes. The excitement of our classes was pretty cool. Many students stopped to take pictures of the oscillator and talked about building their own. The cost of the contraption was hardly anything, just the laser light.
Enjoy nature while timing your students work. This is a 30-second timer to the beautiful sounds of water rapids in Arizona. Then the end has a submarine alarm sound.
Use this time to time your students or anybody else to the sounds of a waterfall along Silver Creek in the White Mountains Arizona. The time is up sound is the intro to Splish Splash.
I blame the Coronavirus for causing boredom which in turn caused me to play with making a video for my students. In this episode, El Guapo is introduced and joins Mr. Weir in Spain to teach a cool science concept about air pressure.
In this episode El Guapo and Mr. Weir visit Argentina and the Iguazu Falls. They then teach about waterfalls and clouds. Students will be taught how to make a cloud in a bottle. Spanish words they will learn are: Buenos Dias, El Rio, Gaucho, Qué Guay. Science words that students will learn are: Waterfall, resistant rock, water vapor, and condensation.
In this episode of the El Guapo Loco Science Show, Mr. Weir will show the kids what Machu Pichu is and some of the animal life that is found in Peru. A Peruvian dance will also be shown. El Guapo will teach students what sound is. The final science project will find students creating Pan flutes using nothing but Bic pens, erasers, and scissors. Students can make as fancy a flute as they want. Spanish words that are taught are Gracias, Si, and Qué Pasa.
In this episode of the El Guapo Loco Science show, Mr. Weir and El Guapo visit Chile. They get to visit a cave where once lived a Mylodon, a giant sloth. Students will learn about cave formations like stalactites, stalagmites and cave bacon as well as animals that can be found in caves. El Guapo demonstrates the transfer of energy between a basketball and a tennis ball. If you are a teacher or parent be sure to check out my websites: 3rdGrade.xyz and EducationalResource.org.
