Revised Sound Machine Matrix

Engagement Levels

  1. Passive Watching 
  2. Changing Parts 
  3. Focused Watching 
  4. Manipulating Pattern 

Observing

While doing my observation of the Sounds Machine, I added a few practices of engagement and split my engagement levels into four levels.  With the sound machine there are only two points of manipulation, each with only one result. Due to the limited interaction manipualtipulation is at a minimum, restricting problem solving and testing of solutions. Observation may advance with the levels as the quest may track the ball of follow the track back from a noise to see where to ball came from.

Asking Questions
  1. Passive Watching 
    • What is the noise?
    • Where are the balls coming from?
  2. Changing Parts 
    • What does this lever do?
    • What happens what I turn the wheel?
  3. Focused Watching 
    • What is the pattern of the balls?
    • What track makes that noise?
  4. Manipulating Pattern
    • Can I change the pattern of the balls?
    • Can I knock the balls off the track?
