Friday Discovery Makey Makey Part 2

This week for Discovery, I did Makey Makey again, but for this week I did something incredible. So at first I was told that it was being run by another teacher, but what I didn’t know is that it was in the classroom she ran, so when I found out I raced down to Room 1. I got my chromebook, Makey Makey, a BANANA and then I needed to find a buddy. For this week there was a lot of little kids so I had to buddy up with a little kid, but I can’t remember her name.

This week I was very happy because I had a BANANA, so we did what we

needed to do to get the banana making a sound. I taught my buddy the basics

on what I did, when I was learning how to do this. We got tin foil and pencils to

make a piano.  Then we plugged one alligator clip at the bottom of the pencil

and the other clip at the top.  It made a piano SOUND!! 

Then I realised that I knew how to make a tin foil drum.  So I took one alligator

clip off the pencil and clipped it into the tin foil.   Then tapped it with the pencil

and it worked, it made a bongo drum sound!  I got the banana, then clipped one

alligator clip at the bottom and one at the top, and I held one alligator clip.  We

tapped the banana, and it worked!! I made a bongo drum noise. 

We got some playdough, because my buddy wanted to try it out.  So, we

clipped one  alligator clip into the playdough and held one clip.  And this made a

bongo sound too!  Then we made a mini band by tapping together the banana

and the playdough, making drum noises. But then the bell rang and we had to

pack up.
