The Project
The end goal of this project was to increase our understanding of waves, and in particular, sound waves. We achieved this through the analysis and creation of three types of instruments: wind, string, and percussion. By breaking down what things change pitch and why, we were able to build several models of our instrument and perform in a scientific band.
What We Did
Reflection
This project was a relatively short one, spanning the course of around one month. In this month, we interspersed our project time with many small lessons and projects. Therefore, our group did not interact that much with each other. However in the time that we were with each other, I did garner some feedback.
We had a lot of positive work done in this group. We were often in the classroom at lunch, and working whenever we had time. This shows our determination for our class and project. Also, we all worked together, even though each member was responsible only for his or her instrument. This shows our commitment to each other in our group.
Not everything went as well in our project. A large portion of our group overthought our design for our instrument. This was a common theme in our class. The improbability of our designs lead to us having to change our designs halfway through the project. In the future, we should take the time to plan our designs correctly, in order to reduce the amount of time spent second-guessing ourselves.
