I am doing a webquest on music. The plot of this webquest is as follows: The group of students have been asked to be in a "Sound Alike" compitition. They need to produce an instrument out of any materials they can find. The objective is to make the instrument sound identical (or close to) the actual instrument that they are recreating.

Here is a website that I will be using in my webquest

I feel that this website is very constructavist. It allows the students to explore and expereiment with different sounds. It also presents in information on a variety of instruments. It would be very useful in the K-5 music curriculum, which focuses on the students learning about sounds, and the production of sounds.
