Concept 2: Water Xylophone
Brief Description |
This toy is intended to
provide children with a fun and easy introduction to playing and reading
music. The containers will be colored up to the height of water needed to provide
a clear indication of how much water the child should add. Sheet music of varying difficulties will
be provided in both letter and note form. |
Physical Principle
Involved |
The water xylophone is
based on the physics of sound and resonance.
Banging on containers of varying height of water produces the various
pitches. The height influences the
sound waves produced, therefore resulting in the different notes. |
Construction Cost |
The cost of construction
of this project is minimal. |
Durability |
The only material used
to make this product is very durable plastic. |
Safety |
This product is totally
safe for the use of children. Younger
children may need assistance in filling the xylophone with water. |
