3 Young Sound Seekers lesson plans

July 25th, 2024

I’m thrilled to announce the release of three brand-new lesson plans that I co-authored, dedicated to exploring the wonders of natural sounds! These educational activities are designed to appeal to park rangers and other educators looking for innovative ways to introduce students to the art of critical listening in the outdoors.

The lesson plans include:

  1. Listen-Pair-Share – guide students in reflection and conversation about the soundscape.
  2. Echoes of the Past – challenge students to think about how a location’s soundscape has changed over time.
  3. Good Vibes – explore the impact of natural soundscapes on our health.

These resources are available now, and best of all, they are completely free! You can access them on the National Park Service website here:

Through the Young Sound Seekers project, we are now working toward creating a comprehensive curriculum that helps students develop a deeper connection to the natural world through sound. We are continually working to expand and publish more of these materials, so stay tuned for future updates and new releases!
