​Collaborative Songwriting, Having Mascot Steamora Sing, and Keeping the Rhythm

 


Collaborative Songwriting, Having Mascot Steamora Sing, and Keeping the Rhythm






For the grand finale of our project, we are bringing the song "STEPS OF SUCCESS," composed using the initials of our project title, to life! In this process, we are engaging our students in a STEM challenge. Here is the implementation guide to lead our students:
Student Guide and STEM Problem Statement:
"Children, we need an orchestra to perform the song we wrote together, but we don't have any musical instruments! We want you to examine the waste materials around you (bottles, caps, cardboard, etc.) to discover how sound is produced and what kind of tones different materials create. Our goal is to design your own unique percussion instruments from waste and accompany our project's anthem—created with Suno—with the correct rhythm. Let's transform the materials and catch the beat of the music with your own designs!"
Implementation and Sharing Steps:
  1. Design: Students will use their engineering skills to design percussion instruments (maracas, drums, tambourines, etc.) from recycled materials.
  2. Rhythm: Students will keep time with the song created via Suno using their handmade instruments.
  3. Recording and Uploading: Please record the performances in horizontal format. 
  4. After uploading your video to YouTube, please paste the link into our collaborative Canva presentation.








We made maracas using walnut shells, wooden sticks, and small stones.




Rhythm instruments designed from waste materials






Students brought various packaging and prepared musical instruments.





Collaborative Songwriting, Having Mascot Steamora Sing, and Keeping the Rhythm










Students created simple musical instruments using recycled and everyday materials, and they were able to produce sounds with them. Working in groups, they designed items like a guitar, drums, and rhythm instruments, exploring how sound is made through vibration and movement.

They used materials such as cardboard, plastic bottles, bottle caps, wooden sticks, rubber bands, plastic cups, and glue. This activity helped them develop creativity, teamwork, and a practical understanding of how musical sounds are produced.

Making musical instruments from waste materials and keeping rhytm



Students brought waste materials from home, plastic bottles, paper plates, cardboard,lids, aluminium cups.With beans,corn and using ribbon,and crayons they decorated the instruments developing creativity .







The students made percussion, wind, and stringed musical instruments from recyclable materials.





The students performed the song and beat the rhythm with the instruments they made.






We made a bell out of scraps to keep the rhythm

By transforming waste materials into musical instruments, my students took a significant step toward becoming the environmentally conscious and productive individuals envisioned by the Turkish Century Education Model. As they used their hand-crafted bells to keep rhythm with our project’s collaborative song, 'Step Of Success,' they masterfully blended engineering and art through STEAM learning outcomes.

The students in Class 5.3 made instruments from tree branches to keep time with the music created by all the partners.




The rhythm instruments students designed from waste materials




My students, using their engineering skills, created products from recycled materials they designed percussion instruments. (jar lids, toothpicks, plastic bottles.....)




Öğrencilerim, el yapımı enstrümanlarıyla Suno tarafından yaratılan şarkıya ritm tuttular.

Students made their own maracas using recycled materials. They used plastic bottle caps and waste cardboard. They filled the caps with dried legumes and glued them onto the cardboard. They decorated the maracas, showcasing their creativity. They kept rhythm to the project song with the maracas they made.
