Beaker Sound Lab

Beaker Sound Lab

Experiment with beakers of different water levels to explore how pitch and frequency change, use a spectrogram to measure sound waves, and collaborate with your group to tune beakers and play 'Mary Had a Little Lamb. This handout forms part of the lesson plan on Tuning Beakers to Play Specific Musical Notes.
