German Township Branch

The Black Forest 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) |

EVENT TYPE: | Science & Technology |
