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!
