There are many advantages to studying variable stars in open clusters; the parameters that determine the evolution of the stars, such as chemical composition and age, can be considered to be the same for all the stars in the cluster. These data, along with the mass, effective temperature and superficial gravity, allow us to better determine the physics which explain the pulsation mechanisms. In the present paper the variable stars h501 and h906 in α Per and w2 and w20 in NGC 2264 are studied. In particular, the reasons why δ Scuti stars coexist with early type stars in NGC 2264 is examined.
