This chapter lays the foundation for an authentic integrated approach to learning. Music technology is a key component in most approaches that integrate STEM with Music. The connecting of multiple content areas through the arts, or music, can be used to increase teacher collaboration. The key areas of arts integration, STEM, STEAM, and how these can effectively and authentically exist together in the classroom to increase student engagement and connections to the content areas and concepts, are defined through a research-based and pragmatic approach. By incorporating the fundamental definitions and understandings posited by this chapter into one’s teaching students will be given opportunities to connect STEM concepts to the artistic processes.

This chapter demonstrates each of the sixteen components used in creating an instructional plan for a lesson that integrates STEM with Music. Each component is placed and developed in a particular way to achieve efficiency in the reading and executing of the overall instructional plan. These components consist of Lesson Title, Duration, Lesson Description, Listing Integration of Contents, Cognitive Demand Using Bloom’s Taxonomy, Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences, 21st-Century Skills, Content Standards and Arts Standards: Assessed vs. Addressed, Key Vocabulary, Arts Concepts Based on the National Core Arts Standards, Materials, Essential Questions, Lesson Sequence and Corresponding Assessments, Summary Activity, Extension Activity, and Adaptations for Grade-Level Bands (K–2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–12). All foundational information and concepts presented in previous chapters are illustrated in the presentation of a sample lesson, Wearable Circuits for Piano Performance: Sustain Pedal.

Chapter 5 presents three instructional plans that are geared toward grades K–2. Instructional plans consist of planning necessities, standard alignment, alignment to philosophies approached in earlier chapters, as well as instructional procedures and assessments. Adaptations for other grade-level bands as well as potential extensions are available for each plan. This chapter includes the following instructional plans: Shapes of Electric Guitars, Sound Amplification and Speaker Building, and Measuring Length and Pitch. In Shapes of Electric Guitars, students will design guitar bodies and perform on them using available technology. In Sound Amplification, students will analyze and experiment with sound waves, eventually building their own small speaker. In Measuring Length and Pitch, students will measure pitched tubes to determine the mathematical relationship between pitches.

This chapter begins by providing a few “Pool Rules” before jumping into aligning STEM and Music. The importance of quality and authenticity in the learning experience is paramount, and this part of the book seeks to help the reader achieve both. The chapter then explores multiple sides of STEM and Music to provide guidance on using and assessing high-quality educational standards currently available to the greater educational community. Each set of standards explained provides another way that educators may find direct connections between content areas. These standards include the Next Generation Science Standards, International Society for Technology in Education Standards, Computer Science Teachers Association & K–12 Computer Science Framework, Common Core Mathematics Standards for Practice, Engineering Standards, and National Core Arts Standards.

Chapter 6 presents three instructional plans that are geared toward grades 3–5. Instructional plans consist of planning necessities, standard alignment, alignment to philosophies approached in earlier chapters, as well as instructional procedures and assessments. Adaptations for other grade-level bands as well as potential extensions are available for each plan. This chapter includes the following instructional plans: Invent an Instrument Using Recycled Materials, Composing Using Light: Musical Automata, and Performing Music Using Light: Theremins and Oscillators. During Invent an Instrument Using Recycled Materials, students will design and build an instrument that they can use in performance. In Composing Using Light: Musical Automata, students will use the concepts of transferring energy and photosensitive circuits to compose a piece of music. In Performing Music Using Light: Theremins and Oscillators, students will use concepts such as voltage, resistance, and oscillation, to create their own electronic musical instruments that change pitch depending on exposure to light.
