physics phenomena. Secondary level physics is a perfect place to blend these two genres. While
advocating for STEM-based education is at the forefront of pedagogical reform, seldom do we use this
cross-boundary vision as the foundation to teach and learn in true collaboration of science and arts
classrooms. As music enthusiasts, and physics educators, we developed new resources for a blended
music and physics class through inquiry-based learning activities. Punctuated with modern
technology, we aimed our activities for an engaging learning experience towards developing
conceptual understandings of sound and harmonics at the grade 11 level. The umbrella activity shared
