Abstract

A number of workshops have been conducted with support from ASA Technical Initiative funds. The emphasis in the workshops is on assisting teachers to use music as a vehicle to introduce science concepts. A monochord is constructed. Teachers are provided a tuning fork, a resonance tube, a spring, a ‘‘singing’’ tube, and material to construct a monochord. Concepts discussed include wave properties such as wavelength, frequency, amplitude, phase, and speed of propagation. In addition the connection to music is made by observing standing waves and relating frequency ratios to musical intervals. The teaching approach and workshop content will be illustrated in the presentation.
