Dive into the Science of Sound!
Uncover the secrets of sound waves as students experiment with echoes, vibrations, and the science of hearing. They’ll learn how sound travels, bounces, and changes as it moves through different materials, creating their own mini echo chambers for a sonic science experience.
Hands-On Science
Students will explore the physics of sound by building simple echo chambers, testing different materials to see how they reflect and absorb sound. They’ll create sound waves using tuning forks, rubber bands, and cups, experimenting with pitch, volume, and resonance.
Inquiry Driven Learning
Each student will take home a mini echo chamber setup, complete with tuning forks, rubber bands, and a sound challenge sheet. For a family extension, try testing echoes in different rooms or even outdoors, comparing how sound changes in different environments.
Take-Home Learning Extensions
Each student will take home a parachute and weight drop setup, perfect for home challenges. For a bigger adventure, try building larger parachutes for stuffed animals or small action figures!
