Investigating Earthquakes

Students investigate the parameters of earthquake epicenter and magnitude.

Investigating the Monochord

In this activity, students will use the iMuSciCA Workbench, a virtual environment for creating musical instruments, in order to investigate the sound produced by a monochord and its dependencies on the various parameters of the instrument itself.

The Sound of Earth: Implementation Guide

This activity combines scientific inquiry with music education. Students investigate the characteristics of earthquakes using real data and then sonify the data in order to produce a musical synthesis from them. Students are introduced to the sonification technique which can be applied in various physical phenomena spanning from elementary particle collisions to the study of exoplanets and beyond.
