We explained using measure and sounds. We used the scientific method to teach a simple experiment, noticing the effects different sounds had on the Measure Activity. We are currently editing the recording. We plan to add as many subtitles in as many languages as possible, so this video can be used to teach anywhere the XO is used to teach.
Test for Pitch: recording how to use measure--how to make sounds, etc.


We hope to also experiment eventually with the activity using instruments and the same pitch, recording their sounds or noticing how Measure reacts to different instruments on the same pitch.
1. We will make a noise somehow using an object or ourselves.
* Clapping
* Whistling
* Talking
* Bongos
* Tone Generator
* Guitar?
* Dropping a chair off a balcony
* Running
* The Cafeteria
* Music in General
* XO boot noise
2. We will measure the noise using the Measure Activity.

3. We will record all of this.

4. The method that we will use to record will explain how to do an experiment for students who have never been introduced to the scientific method.

Instruments and the same pitch, recording their sounds or noticing how Measure reacts to different instruments on the same pitch.

This is a project from the Illinois Math and Science Academy Chapter by April-Hope and Will Getz. It uses the Measure activity by Arjun Sarwal.

We explained using measure and sounds. We used the scientific method to teach a simple experiment, noticing the effects different sounds had on the Measure Activity. We are currently editing the recording. We plan to add as many subtitles in as many languages as possible, so this video can be used to teach anywhere the XO is used to teach.

We hope to also experiment eventually with the activity using instruments and the same pitch, recording their sounds or noticing how Measure reacts to different instruments on the same pitch.
