Making Sound Visible

These scientists moved through four stations taking note of the sound being created and whether or not we can see them as they travel.

Barbara our science coach is explaining the stations before students go off to explore. 


Jumpin' - See what happens when you direct sound waves at rice and salt placed on this plastic wrap. 

Ripplin' - Bang the tuning fork and see what happens when you place it in the water. 

Howlin' - Shake the balloons (some with hex nuts and some with pennies). What accounts for the difference in sound?

Phonin' - These scientists are testing out what happens to the sound when the string is taut or loose.
