Abstract
The value of hands-on laboratory centered teaching of science has led to continued workshops for elementary and secondary school teachers. Emphasis for teachers in the primary grades has been on the use of music as a tool to introduce science concepts, and for teachers at the secondary level to use computer based instrumentation to perform relatively sophisticated measurements. In a recent issue of ‘‘The Hoosier Science Teacher’’ 13 activities are discussed for use in a program which uses music to introduce science concepts [U. J. Hansen, The Hoosier Science Teacher, Volume XXVI, Number 1, 4–14 (2000)]. Increasing accessibility to sophisticated computer software enhances the ability to perform rather complex experiments at the high school level. Recent workshops at regional meetings of the AAPT have introduced these concepts to High School Physics teachers. Both the role of music in the elementary science curriculum and the enhancement of the High School Physics laboratory will be discussed with specific examples.
