I’m so excited because we’re diving into something that surrounds us every day — music.
It’s fun, expressive, and part of every culture."

[Slide: “What You’ll Learn Today”]

"By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

🔥 [2:30–10:00] Warm-up Activity: Name That Instrument!

Tools: Google Slides + Jamboard

[Slide: Photos of instruments: violin, drum, trumpet, flute, etc.]

"Let’s start with a game! I’ll show you pictures of different instruments, and I want you to
guess their names."

Instructions:

 Go to our shared Jamboard.


 On each slide, use sticky notes to write what you think the instrument is.
 No worries if you're not sure — just guess!

[Show each instrument for 30 seconds. Prompt with clues if needed.]

"Hmm... this one has strings and a bow. 🎻 What could it be?"

[Discuss a few responses aloud]


"Nice job! Now tell me — which of these instruments have you seen or heard before? Write it
on the Jamboard or shout it out."

"Great warm-up. Now let’s find out how these amazing instruments actually make sound!"

🎧 [10:00–20:00] Instruction: How Do Instruments Make Sound?

Tools: YouTube + Edpuzzle

[Slide: “Instrument Families” with icons for string, woodwind, brass, percussion]

"There are four main families of musical instruments:


🎻 String
🎷 Woodwind
🎺 Brass
🥁 Percussion"

"Each group creates sound in a different way. Let’s watch a short video that shows how these
instruments work."

[Play video via YouTube or Edpuzzle with pause points]

📝 As you watch, answer the interactive questions on Edpuzzle:

 What happens when you pluck a string?


 How do woodwinds use air?

🧠 [20:00–30:00] Guided Practice: Music or Noise?

"Here are your sounds:

1. A dog barking non-stop


2. A soft piano song
3. Loud construction
4. Rain falling on a window
5. Rock concert 🎸"

Instructions:

 Drag or list each sound into a column.


 Then answer this in the Padlet comments:
“Can noise ever be musical?”
“What kind of music do you enjoy?”

[Teacher responds to 1–2 Padlet posts]
