The Science of Sound

The third graders have begun to learn about sound in science class. In this unit, the students are investigating the fundamental principles of sound generation and how sound travels. Last Friday, we used "drop chambers" to listen carefully to the sounds made by dropping different objects onto the table. Students on the other side of the drop chamber tried guess the object that was dropped and made a matching sound by dropping the same type of object. Here is a photo from our investigation:
