Heeeeeeere's Lucas!

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?
