Question: My school is having Science Night, which is a sort of PTA night, to invite parents/students. It involves each grade level hosting a series of "centers" or "stations" which will demonstrate or otherwise explore a scientific concept. I would like your great ideas and suggestions for possible activities for Music/Science.
Answer: What about bottles filled with different levels of water? Have a pan of water, then place a vibrating tuning fork in it to watch sound waves. Place a vibrating tuning fork onto a chalkboard, and it vibrates out loud. A box and rubber bands (different lengths or thickness). An echo microphone (you can find one cheap at a dollar store). Hope these ideas help.
