As part of our studies for radio advertising and the science of sound recording devices, students “dissected” an old stereo/speaker system. Before taking it apart, we spent time observing the machine (parts we saw, buttons, technical language used). We began by unscrewing easily distinguishable parts...then we kind of just busted the thing open! Students LOVED this activity, and so many great observations and questions were brought up as we explored. For instance, as we took apart the speakers, students noticed that there was a huge magnet inside! Together we discussed how this piece helps the speakers to create various sounds. Some students even brought in their own tools the following day to unsolder some of the pieces.
