Canadian Astronaut Chris Hadfield says that the arts are every bit as important for learning as math and science. Lucas' experiment was a testament to that.
Lucas was very well set up.
And he demonstrated a confluence of math, music, and science: the type of sound produced by each glass depended on the amount of water in each. There's so much vocabulary to go with this experiment: pitch, timbre, sound volume, liquid volume, sound waves, vessel, and on and on.
Just to hype up the class even more on this already busy day, I brought my sister Mary for sharing. She was visiting from Victoria. We loved that there were two Ms Munros for the afternoon. Here's a picture of us when we were 5 and 10. Who's who?
