Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
I work at an amazing school! Our students love school and love to be here. We actually had the highest attendance rate in the district! The students are a very nurturing and caring group. They support each other and are always willing to help out to see others succeed. As the music teacher, I get to see every student (about 560) once a week.
Our campus was affected by hurricane Harvey.
We had several families displaced for extended periods of time, including new students from more severely affected areas. I believe that experiences in music class give students a chance to express all of their emotions, in a creative, constructive way.
My Project
In music class, we speak briefly about the air vibration and the science behind music and sound. But it tends to be a bit abstract, as these vibrations are largely unseen. I would like to create another way to demonstrate sound waves. These materials will be used to create a "Rubens' Tube" that we can use on our annual science night.
Using propane and a perforated steel tube, we can use flames to show standing waves that can be manipulated by the students.
Using different music, sound effects, and even their own voices, we will see the relationship between sound waves and sound pressure in a fun, exciting way!
