On Tuesday, November 20th, Bash the Trash performed for the second grade class, using musical instruments made out of recycled materials to teach about sound and the environment. The instruments included a Styrofoam & rubber band bass, a plastic straw that was repeatedly shortened with scissors while it was played, and a conch shell with a cardboard cone amplifier. The performance demonstrated the science behind vibrations, frequency, and sound waves and how different vibrating materials create the four families of instruments. After the performance, the second graders learned how to build their own instruments from recycled and reused materials.  

This program was made possible through your generous donations to the PTA.  Thank you!
