This is a common activity. The
students fill 8 bottles with water. Each bottle has different
levels of water in it. The students tap out a tune or blow across
the tops of the bottles to make a sond and tune.
Have the class put their hands
on their throat and hum. They should feel a vibration. Now have
the class blow up a balloon. Then have the students pull on each
side of the balloon. What happens as the rubber Vibrates?
There are various books that show
you how to build musical instruments. The students could show
their instruments and explain how they work. Then you could have
a classroom musical band.
