Music
NTPS first grade students explore sound in their fourth quarter STEMscope "Sound". During this scope, students are asked to conduct investigations that provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can vibrate materials. This article, Waves Sound Great, has lesson plans that span several days. Day 4 is centered around creating different types of drums using information gathered from previous lesson where students explored other musical instruments. Check out this article for information on how you could support the first grade Physical Science standard in your classroom.

This is a great article. I can see incorporating some of these ideas into the remote music to connect. I love the movement activity to demo movement of sound waves through gases and solids. But I had students create a "beat bucket" in the fall with homemade our found sounds. It might be interesting to come back to those and look at what is vibrating to make the sound, which will also tie into our discussion of timbre and how different materials create different timbres as they vibrate and shape the vibrations (wood body of guitar in relation to strings) etc.
