Musical Tree


Students made musical leaves by using conductive tape to connect to the leaves, then connecting to the alligator clips that attach to the makey makey. The makey makey is connected to the laptop through USB. The leaves are programmed using scratch.




Students get into groups of 3-4 to design musical tree by taping leaf circuits using conductive tape.














Students connect the alligator clips from the makey to the conductive tape and program a sound for each leaf using scratch.  After each leaf is programmed with a sound. The students need to touch the ground and the touch the leaf after they dip their figure in water. Water is the key to conductivity.











Here is the video of the end product.
