Build a Band Project
After learning about sound waves, groups built instruments from three categories wind, chimes, and string. My group decided to make a harp, flute, and a xylophone. But before we started building we had to blueprint the instrument and the full octave in which the length they play at.
Content:
Wavelength- distance from crest to crest of a wave (velocity/frequency)
Amplitude- height or size of wave, determines volume in sound
Frequency- rate at which waves pass per second (velocity/wavelength)
Period- time per wave (inverse of frequency)
Velocity- rate at which a wave moves (distance/time)

Reflection:
In this group I thought we worked well together and we got things done on time. We all worked on the instruments together so that we could help each other out. We finished the project early and had some time to go over each instrument and see if they need some tweaking. Something we could've worked on was getting to know our instruments better. Overall, we contributed new ideas and told our time with the calculations.
I worked on this project with Reema Heydari, Alexis Bishop, and Jillian Seymour.
