For our project, we were instructed to make a wind, string, and percussion instrument. We used a PVC pipe with holes and a mouthpiece made out of a balloon to make the sound for the wind instrument. We used wood and fishing line for the string instrument. For the percussion instrument, we used different lengths of metal pipes suspended on string to vibrate to make sound. All of our notes are accurate because we used measurements that are shown in the document.
Concepts:
During the project, we learned about longitudinal waves and transverse waves and the similarities and differences of the waves. We learned about light and the electromagnetic spectrum. We learned about the interaction of waves and interference. We also learned about how frequency and pitch interact with each other.

Reflection:
I feel I worked well in my group. Personally, I was able to build most of the guitar and almost all of the wind instrument by myself. I worked well and was a leader but I also did what my group told me to do and I listened to their ideas. I feel our group could work on our communication. If we made a mistake or we got a correction to make, I feel we learned how to correct our mistakes, such as an error in calculating or a mistake in building. I feel we could work on being inclusive and accepting of all ideas.
