On Tuesday, February 5th, our students explored sound. They secured either aluminum foil or waxed paper to the open end of a tin can, using a rubber band. Students made sounds by tapping the "paper" end with the handle of their scissors. They also tried putting rice into their cans, and tapped them with the handle of their scissors. Was the sound the same? They also shook the cans with rice inside. Was that sound the same? Students discovered they could actually see the sound being made as they looked at the rice moving in the cans. After our experiment, students wrote about what they did in their Science Journals.
