5th Grade Sound Podcast
5th Graders at Trevvett Elementary worked on creating sound podcasts using GarageBand. GarageBand is a great program to use for your sound unit because you can record sounds, change the pitch and frequency, and even see the waveforms. I gave the students a template to use which you can download by clicking here. It already includes artwork and chapter titles. All your students have to do is record themselves with a high amplitude, low amplitude, high frequency, and low frequency. The amplitude is easy to see with the waveforms which are automatically generated by GarageBand when you record. The frequency can be adjusted using the various vocal effects under track details. We used Monster for low frequency and Chipmunk for high frequency. Then we exported our podcasts as movies. You can take a look at a sample student podcast by clicking here.
