Science/Music Connections

Last week in science, Aedin came to work with the students to explore the concept of pitch.  The students tried "matching pitch", first by tapping on different size nails.  The students matched those sounds with the notes on a xylophone.  Next, they filled beakers with water to different levels.  They were amazed that they could create different notes by changing the water level just a bit!  They were even able to tap out simple songs on their beakers!  Thanks to Aedin for helping to create such a terrific science/music experience!
