A Noisy Week – to Support Science

Well, that was a noisy week. We were looking at our senses and did a lot of science experiments to help us understand sound.

Demonstrating how sound waves travel

We discussed how sound waves travel best through a solid and worst through the air. We tested this out using tuning forks.

We were really surprised by the difference; you can hear it Here.

We then got to make our own sound making devices, this was a lot of fun and rather loud.

You can see and hear some of them Here, Here, and Here.

Once again SSERC came to the rescue with some great resources and ideas from one of the SSERC Meets.
