“This diagram is for K – 2 classes for the hallway. I made it colorful because the students are younger and it would appeal to them more. The house is a reminder of how to use your inside voice even when you are at school. It is important to stay at a reasonable voice level to help keep us Covid-safe.“
This is an adaptation of a voice level chart that students use at the Boggs School to manage the loudness of their voice. The original chart has a range from 0 to 4 with description included. Students explored voice level and the connection to air quality by attempting to incorporate decibels (dB) and droplet spread, with or without masks. This exploration allowed students to share what they learned about contributing to clear air in a pandemic in a non-threatening way. I hope you find it helpful!

I love the footsteps in the sand and using the house as a reminder of school. Very thoughtful, Victoria!
I am inspired by the relationship you have made between art and science. They are not usually thought of together, but both require creative thinking! Your images demonstrate this so beautifully.
This is so very intriguing to me because these voice level charts came from the school where I worked. It’s so creative how you used everyday school routines to explore your science curriculum!
