      Discovery Pack Amazing Science Experiments - Nancy Harris

      NOISY EXPERIMENTS

      These experiments make loud bangs, weird noises, or cool music, to help you find out what sound really is, and how it works.

      What is sound?

      Basically, we hear sound when things move and vibrate, or shake quickly to and fro. These movements make the air vibrate, too. The vibrations spread out through the air and reach our ears.

      Sound waves

      When you drop an object into liquid it makes the water move, and ripples spread out in a circle until they touch the edge. Sound is the same, but instead of spreading out in a flat layer, the sound waves go in all directions.

      Moving & shaking

      For example, if someone hits a cymbal, the metal vibrates, and that makes invisible ripples, or sound waves, spread out in the air all around it. You hear the sound when the sound waves reach your ears.

      Make a noise!

      There are lots of ways to make a sound by getting something to vibrate. Try this simple experiment with a balloon:

      1. Blow up a balloon, but don’t tie it closed.

      2. Hold the side s of the opening of the balloon, and pull them away from each other.

      3. Slowly let the air out of the balloon. Try stretching the opening tightly and less t ightly as the air escapes to see if you can change the sound.

      HOW DOES IT WORK?

      As the air pushes through the narrow gap in the opening, it makes the rubbery balloon skin vibrate. This makes a loud squeaking sound.

      Watch it

      Sound vibrations are often so small or so fast that they can be hard to see clearly. But in this case, you should be able to see the neck of the balloon vibrating in a blur.

      GLITTER DISCO

      This experiment will let you see the vibrations that sounds make—and get some glitter to dance!

      WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

      * A large radio with a speaker on the front, or a hi-fi speaker

      * Glitter flakes (not the powdery kind—larger flakes work better)

      * A large plastic plate or round tray

      * Clingfilm

      1. Tear off a large piece of clingfilm and stretch it over the plate so that it’s as flat and smooth as possible. Tuck the clingfilm under the plate to hold it in place.

      2. Get your radio or speaker, and lie it down so that the speaker part is facing upward. You may have to ask someone to hold it steady.

      3. Put your clingfilm-covered plate right over the middle of the speaker. If you can see two speaker openings, use the bigger one if there is one.

      4. Shake a small amount of glitter onto the middle of the clingfilm—about a teaspoonful. (Be careful not to spill glitter
