Connects string length and thickness to low and high notes (how pitch changes). Describes the soundboard’s role in helping the sound “ring out.” Introduces harps as an ancient instrument and names early places they were played (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Sumer). Compares types of harps today (lever harps vs. pedal harps) and what levers/pedals do to change pitch. Learning Goals Describe how a harp makes sound using details from the passage. Explain how longer/thicker strings and shorter/thinner strings relate to low and high notes. Identify what the soundboard does for the harp’s sound. Compare lever harps and pedal harps by explaining how each changes pitch. Summarize evidence that harps are very old by naming where early harps were played or found. Key Vocabulary From the Text soundboard — flat wooden part that helps sound ring out. plucking — pulling and releasing strings with fingers to make sound. pitch — how high or low a note sounds. glissando — a swooshing sound moving across many notes. mechanism — parts that work together to change something. Cored Ed Encyclopedia Overview The Cored Ed Encyclopedia is a weekly series of lessons that you can pick up and use right away. These short readings fit into whatever time you have available. Each one includes a warm-up, a reading, and a set of questions, but it’s flexible — you can do just the reading, the full lesson, or skip the writing section if you need to. Each lesson focuses on a single topic so students don’t get lost. The writing is clear but never childish, making it perfect for grades two through five. Topics range from animals and science to history, inventions, and everyday things. No matter the level of the student, everyone should take away at least one new idea or fact from each lesson. The materials are easy to print, easy to explain, and require no setup. They work well for whole-class teaching, partner work, or independent study.

FULL CATALOG OF DOWNLOAD LINKS AND ENCYCLOPEDIA INDEX HERE Lesson Snapshot Title: Pianos Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Music (Performing Arts) / Reading Informational Text Primary Topic: How the piano was invented and improved Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Lesson Teaches Best How the piano idea began around 1700 in Florence, Italy , with Bartolomeo Cristofori trying to make music “gentle or bold” depending on touch. How the piano’s key action works: a mechanism sends a leather-covered hammer to strike strings, then pulls back so the string keeps vibrating . How dampers stop strings from ringing—and lifting them lets tones ring longer. How information spread the invention: Scipione Maffei published an article with a diagram , leading builders like Gottfried Silbermann to make pianos based on Cristofori’s design. How the piano grew for bigger spaces: sturdier builds and a wider range from about four octaves to 88 keys , changing where music could be played (homes, schools, apartments, stages). Learning Goals Students will explain why Cristofori began tinkering with a new keyboard instrument around 1700. Students will describe how a key triggers the hammer-and-string action using details from the passage. Students will explain how a player’s touch can make the sound softer or louder according to the text. Students will identify how Maffei helped the piano idea travel and name one builder mentioned who made pianos afterward. Students will describe how the piano’s keyboard range changed over time and state the number of keys many pianos have today. Key Vocabulary From the Text harpsichords — older keyboards that stayed mostly one volume. inventory — a recorded list that showed a piano existed. mechanism — moving parts that make the piano action work. dampers — parts that stop strings from ringing. octaves — groups of notes used to describe keyboard range.
