Concepts
Interference - adding two waves together
Positive (Constructive) interference - adds to create a bigger wave
Anti node - the maximums and minimums of a wave
Pitch - due to varying frequency, creates different notes that we hear
Non Constructive interference - adds to make a smaller wave
Node - area between a wave
Doppler Effect - the concept of a change in frequency due to the motion of a source
Blue shift - increase in frequency
Red shift - decrease in frequency
Resonance - the process of creating a standing wave when unnatural vibrations are equal to the natural wavelength/frequency
Sound waves - created by the vibrations of material objects; compression and rarefaction
Compression - pushes together
Frequency - how often a vibration occurs in Hertz, or cycles per second
Period - amount of time between waves [period = 1 / frequency]
Wave - disturbance or vibration through a medium
Wave Speed = Wave length x Frequency
Transverse waves - move up and down
Longitudinal waves - moves compression horizontally
Anti node - the maximums and minimums of a wave

The building a band was definitely one of my favorite projects this year. I learned so much about sound waves and how they travel. It was so much fun to awaken a musical side in myself, it was the most enjoyable project this year. I really loved learning musical skills and being able to build my own unique instruments. My group did very well on making our instruments look nice, but next time i would try to make the keys more exact. Next time I would also try and make more technologically advanced instruments. I feel that my group and I worked very well together and were always very efficient in getting our work done and making it look outstanding. For future reference, I will work with the same types of people who will work and not slack off.
I learned so much about strings, winds, and chimes through this project. I had no idea that there was so much perfection though music and through this project i now understand that music is very complex. Me being myself I am not very musically inclined, but now I am so much more inclined then ever before. Who would of know science would teach me the most about music. This project was definitely the best and I look forward to more projects just like in in the future.
