These experiments will be following the scientific method, so the students will have to come up with a research question, form a hypothesis, and then follow a procedure for collecting and analyzing the data. Explain that before the students design their own experiments, you will go through a sample experiment with the class, using associations with the chords you played in the Introductory Activity.<\/p>\n<p>2) Distribute a \u201cMusic Experiment Writeup\u201d organizer (<a href=\"\/wnet\/musicinstinct\/files\/2009\/06\/em-writeup-handout.rtf\">RTF<\/a>) (<a href=\"\/wnet\/musicinstinct\/files\/2009\/06\/em-writeup-handout.pdf\">PDF<\/a>) and a \u201cMusic Response Survey\u201d (<a href=\"\/wnet\/musicinstinct\/files\/2009\/06\/em-response-survey.rtf\">RTF<\/a>) (<a href=\"\/wnet\/musicinstinct\/files\/2009\/06\/em-response-survey.pdf\">PDF<\/a>) organizer to each student.<\/p>\n<p>3) Pick one of the adjectives the class came up with to describe a chord you played earlier. Have the class write down a research question using this information (something like \u201cwhich chord does our class think is the most wistful?\u201d). Lead them through the steps of filling out the organizer through the \u201cprocedure\u201d section (the subjects will be the individuals in the class, the sound samples will be three chords of your choosing, including the one described earlier by the adjective, and the procedure will be that students will listen to three chords and rank them from 1 to 5 on how \u201cadjective\u201d they sound). The students should also fill out the pertinent information on the Survey Template Organizer.<\/p>\n<p>4) Play the chords for the students (being careful not to let the students know which one you\u2019re playing when) and have them mark their responses on the Survey Template Organizer.<\/p>\n<p>5) Collectively, analyze the results, finding a numerical class average for each of the three chords.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1) Explain that shortly, the students will be designing their own experiments to test people\u2019s associations with different musical examples.
