Lesson 6/8

Hi Music Lovers,

We’ve learned to appreciate art, now it’s time to appreciate music.

Today we are exploring sound through water waves. We are creating a rainbow xylophone.

You will need:

7 clear glasses filled to various levels( highest to lowest)

Food coloring

Spoon

Have your child pour water into each glass ( put a piece of dark tape where glass should be filled too... this way there is a visual).

Use your fine motor skills & squeeze 3-4 drops of food coloring into each glass.

Last glass remains clear. Mix the colors.

Use your spoon to gently tap on each glass & listen for the different sounds each colorful glass makes. This lesson fosters hypotheses and critical thinking, along with observational and listening skills. Have fun!
