Jr. Int. Sen. Music and Science - Homemade instruments

[Pat Elliott <pat.elliott@sympatico.ca>]

>  Designed for the middle school level, the students' area
>  explains terminology that relates musical sounds to science
>  and math concepts (e.g. frequency, vibration), allows students
>  to send their questions to an expert, and offers information
>  about careers that combine music, math and science.
>
>  In the student area, you'll also find the instructions for
>  building some wonderful (whimsical) musical instruments
>  (including a pop-bottle "splashaphone" that should only be
>  played outdoors). You can download sound clips to hear what
>  these home-builts actually sound like, and I'm sure that this
>  type of project would be valuable and fun for students in early
>  elementary as well as the later grades.
>
>  The teachers' area explains the mathematical, scientific and
>  musical concepts behind the interdisciplinary experiences.
