Full lesson	Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle}

Lesson plan

Objectives:

• Understand what pitch is
• Identify the different types of pitches
• Recognize how pitch affects sound and music

Grade/Age Group: Year/Grade 1, ages 6-7

Materials:

• Whiteboard and markers
• Pitch pipe
• Musical instruments (optional)

National Curriculum Standards:

• Identify and use scientific disciplines to explain natural phenomena
• Evaluate scientific evidence for validity and reliability
• Develop and use scientific models to explain observations

Lesson Structure:

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	3 min	Greet students and introduce the topic of pitch. Explain that they will learn what it is and how it affects music and sound.
2	What is Pitch?	7 min	Use the whiteboard to draw a visual representation of sound waves and explain how pitch is the highness or lowness of a sound. Demonstrate pitch using a pitch pipe and have students repeat the pitch.
3	Types of Pitch	5 min	Explain the differences between high and low pitch and play examples of both on the whiteboard. Introduce the concept of pitches being named after musical notes (A, B, C, etc.) and play them for the students.
4	How Pitch Affects Music	8 min	Demonstrate how pitch affects music by playing different notes on musical instruments or using a computer program. Explain how different notes create different sounds and how pitch affects the melody.
5	Review and Discussion	5 min	Ask students to recap what they learned about pitch. Have a class discussion on how pitch affects everyday life.
6	Homework	2 min	Assign homework to the students to identify and draw a picture of a high pitch and a low pitch sound in their surroundings. \
7	Conclusion	1 min	End the lesson and remind the students to complete their homework.

Assessment:

• Homework will be checked without asking any students to present it in front of the class.
• Formative assessment will be done in class through class discussions and asking individual students questions.
