Purpose

You will launch by mapping a typical week of music listening and sleep on a timeline with a parent or caregiver, then ask how graphs can reveal patterns connecting music type, sleep quality, energy, and well-being. With caregiver support, track your habits consistently for two weeks, revise missed entries after day one, and use check-ins to identify a successful habit and one adjustment. Compare culturally varied uses of music, describe how music is consumed, explain your preferences using self-created criteria, and use v = fλ to support a claim about sound-wave relationships. Rehearse and present a slide or digital poster at a Data Story Showcase, using clear graphs to explain one pattern while a caregiver conference assesses your tracking consistency, reflection, and next step.

Learning goals

You will map and track your music listening, sleep, energy, and well-being for two weeks, using graphs to identify patterns and tell a data-based story. You will compare culturally responsive examples of music use around the world, describe how music is consumed in society, explain your preferences, and create criteria for responding to music. You will use v = fλ to represent relationships among sound-wave frequency, wavelength, and speed in different media. With a parent or caregiver, you will launch your timeline, check and revise your logging routine, reflect on consistency and next steps, rehearse your explanation, and present a slide or digital poster in a Data Story Showcase.

Standards
  • [Colorado] MU.IN.4.3 - Compare uses for music around the world in a culturally responsive manner.
  • [Colorado] MU.IN.4.2 - Identify and describe the ways in which music is consumed in society
  • [Colorado] SC.HS.1.1.a - Use mathematical representations to support a claim regarding relationships among the frequency, wavelength, and speed of waves traveling in various media.
  • [Colorado] MU.NO.4.2 - Articulate and explain personal preferences as a music consumer.
  • [Colorado] MU.PR.4.1 - Respond to musical performances or compositions using student-created criteria.
Competencies
  • Effective Communication - Students practice listening to understand, communicating with empathy, and share their learning through exhibiting, presenting and reflecting on their work.
  • Collaboration - Students co-design projects with peers, exercise shared-decision making, strengthen relational agency, resolve conflict, and assume leadership roles.
  • Self Directed Learning - Students use teacher and peer feedback and self-reflection to monitor and direct their own learning while building self knowledge both in and out of the classroom.
  • Critical Thinking & Problem Solving - Students consider a variety of innovative approaches to address and understand complex questions that are authentic and important to their communities.
  • Academic Mindset - Students establish a sense of place, identity, and belonging to increase self-efficacy while engaging in critical reflection and action.

Products

Create a “My Week in Waves” timeline and a two-week tracker for music listening, sleep, sleep quality, and daily energy, revising your logging routine after caregiver check-ins. Develop graphs that reveal patterns in your habits and a mathematical wave model showing the relationship among frequency, wavelength, and wave speed. Build a slide deck or digital poster that compares culturally responsive examples of music use and consumption worldwide, explains your preferences, and applies your own criteria to a selected performance or composition. Present the revised product as a Data Story Showcase to a parent or caregiver, including one well-being finding, evidence from your data, a reflection on tracking consistency, and one next-step adjustment.

Launch

Create a “My Week in Waves” timeline showing your typical music-listening moments, music types and cultural contexts, sleep times, sleep quality, and daily energy. Add a simple sketch connecting musical frequency, wavelength, and wave speed, then predict which patterns your graphs might reveal about your well-being. Compare the timeline with a parent or caregiver, listen to their observations, and revise your two-week tracking plan so music and sleep entries are recorded consistently. Save one prediction to revisit in your Data Story Showcase.

Exhibition

Host a Data Story Showcase at home where you present your digital poster or slides to a parent or caregiver. Explain your sleep-and-music graphs, one pattern connecting music type to sleep quality or daily energy, and how your listening habits reflect your preferences and ways music is consumed. Include a brief comparison to one culturally responsive example of music use elsewhere in the world and use a mathematical wave representation to explain frequency, wavelength, and speed in a selected sound. End with a paired conference to review tracking consistency, respond using your presentation criteria, celebrate one successful habit, and name one adjustment you will try next.
