This is a project from the Illinois Math and Science Academy Chapter by April-Hope and team. It makes heavy use of the Measure activity by Arjun Sarwal.

Test for Pitch: recording how to use measure--how to make sounds, etc.

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.
