Sound Needs Vibration AND Air

In our science experiments last week, we discovered that vibrations cause the air around objects to vibrate.  When we struck a tuning fork, we felt the vibration.  When we held it to paper, it made the paper vibrate with its own sound!

The drum vibrated and moved the paper clips on top of it.

Good Vibrations

As part of our science unit on sound waves, the First Graders felt the vibrations of their vocal chords and experimented with blocking sound waves from their ears.
