  3. Abstract • Due to the district focus on math and reading, coupled with low science scores on the OAA, we see the need for summer science enrichment . • The project, which targets students entering fifth grade, offers students the opportunity to learn science from an interdisciplinary, hands-on approach. In addition, the project will provide an opportunity for students to connect with their community, as the program will take place at the Stark County Library with community partner involvement. • Research shows when students read six books during the summer, at an appropriate level, they could avoid summer reading setback and maintain the reading growth made during the previous year. Students will read nonfiction and fiction while participating in science activities.

  4. Goals: • To provide a structured educational reading experience during the summer for Canton City school children • To engage students in the fine arts • To enhance science knowledge through student inquiry

  5. Evaluation: • Student surveys • Family surveys • Pre and post test

  6. Need Rationale:Data Below is from the 2011 Science Ohio Achievement Assessment

  7. Logistics: • Where: Stark County Library, Main Branch • Who: 12 current fourth-grade students from each of the five lowest performing* elementary schools • Gibbs • Dueber • Youtz • Schreiber • Allen *Based on the Grade 5 Science Ohio Achievement Assessment, 2011

  8. Logistics: • What: Tentative Daily Agenda • 30 minute session: Instrument introduction/making a musical instrument • 30 minute session: Science lesson/activity on Sound • 30 minute session: Music and Dance • 30 minutes session: Book Study • Three week program – scaffolding on the previous sessions

  9. Logistics: • How: Funding/Partnerships: • Stark County Public Library • Woodrow Wilson Foundation • Kent State University (dancer in residence) • Lowes Home Improvement Store • Home Depot • Canton Symphony • Canton Jewish Federation

  15. Science of Sound Student Survey How did you feel about Science of Sound Camp? Didn’t Like it Liked it Loved it How do you feel about Science? Don’t Like it Like it Love it How do you feel about Reading? Don’t Like it Like it Love it

  16. Science of Sound Pre-Test Would the sound of a bell be louder in an empty room or a room full of people? 2. What causes sound waves? 3. If you pluck a rubber band that is pulled tight, you produce a higher pitched sound than if you pluck a looser rubber band. What determines the pitch of a sound? the wavelength of sound the amplitude of sound the frequency of sound the reflection of sound 4. When more energy is used to create a sound, the sound becomes louder. What is related to the loudness of a sound? frequency amplitude pitch absorption

  17. Science of Sound Pre-Test 5. The sound of the siren of a police car changes as the car moves toward and then past an observer on the roadside. Why does this occur?

  18. Science of Sound Post-Test Would the sound of a bell be louder in an empty room or a room full of people? 2. What causes sound waves? 3. If you pluck a rubber band that is pulled tight, you produce a higher pitched sound than if you pluck a looser rubber band. What determines the pitch of a sound? the wavelength of sound the amplitude of sound the frequency of sound the reflection of sound 4. When more energy is used to create a sound, the sound becomes louder. What is related to the loudness of a sound? frequency amplitude pitch absorption

  19. Science of Sound Post-Test 5. The sound of the siren of a police car changes as the car moves toward and then past an observer on the roadside. Why does this occur?
