Innovative Sound Making: the exploration of science and art in sound
EdTech Classroom (Curated by EdCity)
Overview
This open lesson centers on interdisciplinary inquiry, integrating art creation with electromagnetic science through a Sound Art Experiment unit.
Participants will master sound-producing vibration mechanisms driven by electromagnetic induction, design functional speakers using everyday materials, and explore the acoustic-material relationship via three-dimensional metal artwork creation.
The teaching strategy combines problem-based learning and maker-based hands-on activities: First, posing the question, "Why do coils make magnets vibrate when electrified?" to spark curiosity. Students then deconstruct speaker structures and extend learning to metal artwork that interacts with acoustic resonance, fostering the STEAM mindset in the structural flow of scientific validation → technical application → aesthetic reinterpretation.
