“Good Vibrations”–Exploring the Science of Sound

This week in the Science Lab, first-grade students investigated a fun and interactive journey into the science of sound! Through a series of hands-on activities and sound toys, they discovered that all sound starts with a vibration. Using tuning forks, students explored the properties of sound through their five senses. In this fun video, watch as students observe sound waves traveling through water, see sound waves moving salt particles through the air, and even feel sound vibrations traveling from a tuning fork through their arms to their ears. Students felt and heard a buzzing sound. You can click on this link to get a glimpse into the classroom.
