Exercise
Form 3: Pitch and Frequency
In this engaging exercise, students will explore the relationship between pitch and frequency by experimenting with various musical instruments and sound-making devices, allowing them to visually and audibly understand how changes in frequency affect the sounds we hear. Through hands-on activities and collaborative projects, learners will develop a deeper appreciation for sound waves and their applications in music and technology.
