Physics of Sound and Flight: Hums, Buzzers, and Whirligigs

Grades: K - 2nd (Ages: 6 - 8) Co-ed

Shake, rattle and go! Toot tunes on test tubes and buzz on kazoos to explore how sounds are made, how they travel, and how we hear them. Make yourself a giant pair of ears and a model of your voice box. Create rhythms and waves in different ways to explore the concept of vibration. Build and experiment with different fliers that soar through the air and compare them to parachutes that create drag. Which design will fly the best?
