North Liberty Meeting Room

Learn how sound waves work so you can get loud! Explore amplitude, frequency, pitch, vibrations and more with sound based experiments. One hour program; ages 8–12 recommended.

See how sound travels through air molecules with a Slinky activity, use tuning forks to hear different notes and see the energy transfers through water, create an ear drum model with plastic wrap and a cup - then see how it vibrates with salt particles, make noise into a fan to hear the difference - why does that happen? 

AGE GROUP: | Children (6-11) |
