Students create a jamboree using the science concepts learned in the other "Sounds Like Science" activities. Great for a music and science team.

In this lesson plan students are able to manipulate sound to arrange a musical scale. Can be used by both science and music teachers.

At this site explore the energy transfer that is involved in making sound through playing a kazoo.This activity is wonderful for both science and music teachers.

This site is provided for by Michigan Reach Out. Students experiment with the variables of force, pitch and volume after making a drum.

This lab is designed to help students visualize the formation of beats and the relationship between the number of beats per second and the beat frequency heard by the observer.

Check out this fun science fair project about the physics of musical sound production. Here you will make musical instruments with drinking straws, one for each note on a one-octave major scale. You will figure out the right lengths for...

Take a special trip to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra with GPB Education! This interactive virtual exploration offers students a behind-the-scenes experience as they learn about the science of sound and the preparation it takes to put on...

This is a rockin' project for guitarists with an interest in the physics behind music. If you have ever wondered why the pitch of the note changes when you fret the string, this project will help you understand by applying basic...

In this physics science fair project, the student will use common materials to play back sound from a vinyl record album. The student will investigate what kinds of materials produce the best sound. The Science Buddies project ideas are...

A discussion of a variety of physics topics related to music and sound. Topics include vibrations, sound waves, frequency and pitch, resonance and overtones.

In this video, musician Jake Shimabukuro uses the pitch of musical notes and vibrations in hertz to illustrate the concept of ratios. This clip is from Center for Asian American Media. In the accompanying classroom activity, students...

A discussion of the composition of complex sounds produced by a musical instrument. Good illustration of how music is applied to physics. Quite a bit of good information, several pages linked together with good definitions as well as...

This site scientifically explains how 18th century master violin makers produced such beautiful sounds with their instruments. The use of animated graphics and brief explanations allow the viewer to understand how scientists are trying...

This site provides an experiment where students create a guitar to discover what variables will change sound.

A site mostly exploring the hyperphysics of the sound frequencies of the timpani.

The opening four points of this article point out the 4 special challenges of playing the modern French horn. When the player uses the "stopping mute", he/she must transpose the music down one semitone in order to play in the correct...
