This paper describes different possibilities to answer the question of automatically creating a choreography for musical fountains using mathematical modeling. The possibilities for an implementation range from a short project in the middle school, which has large parts in mathematics, to long-term projects, which deal with the physical background, an implementation with the help of the computer and in the highest expansion stage even a technical realization. In the article different variants are described, supplemented by experiences from practice and extension possibilities are pointed out. All in all, the readers should be enabled to design and practically implement their own project according to the individual local conditions such as time frame, learning level of the target group and possibilities for interdisciplinary cooperation.
