Mrs. Orahood’s fifth grade science students have been studying sound waves! They wrapped up the unit with six experiments that demonstrate how different sounds are created. The labs included rubber band guitar cups, Sound Bites Tool with suckers & tinkling tines ( fork on a string), trumpet straws, tuning forks, musical water glasses, and slinky waves. Many of the supplies they used are lying around your house, so ask them to give you a demonstration. They were pretty neat, and the students had a lot of fun!
