Science Notebook Questions for the Stations:
Station # ______________
Diagram:
1 1. Describe what you see.
2 2. Describe what you hear.
3 3. What is the source of the vibration? Label it as the source on your diagram.
4 4. What type of medium is the wave traveling through? Label this as the medium on your diagram.
5. In what direction does the wave appear to travel? Draw its path on your diagram using a line and an arrow to represent the sound wave.
6 6. What happens to the medium as the wave travels?
Round 1:
 |
| Salt bounces with the drumming on a pan nearby |
 |
| Rubber bands make different pitches from thickness and tension |
 |
| Bolts inside of the balloon make a buzzing/humming sound when you swirl it around...be careful they POP! |
 |
| Ever played the spoons? Same idea... |
 |
| Flapping the rulers (plastic, metal, wood) against the table with different lengths hanging off. |
 |
| Water glasses - using a dowel to tap on bottles with different levels of water |
 |
| Wrap waxed paper around the comb and hum into it |
 |
| Orange part of the bottle is a balloon. Pull back the balloon and a gust of air comes out the point. |
Tap on a tuning fork and hold in a cup of water to see waves.
Tap on the tuning fork and a ball will bounce off of it.
Round 2:
This dangerous contraption needs to be swung to hear the buzzing sound.
 |
| Telephone...which one is a better sound conductor metal or Styrofoam? |
See the waves bounce off of each other like sound waves.
One bottle half full and one empty, blow over them to hear different pitches.
A card flaps when the wheel spins, faster and slower
 |
| See the sound in the water waves |
 |
| Every action has an equal opposite reaction... |
Around the room:
Day 2: Percussion
Making the centers!
Shakers, Shakers, Shakers
Rain sticks Tamborine
Winds:
FAIL
So funny I cried!!
SUCCESS
A pan flute that works!
The secret was a chop stick on each side.
Harmonica - the papers slide and the rubberband goes through the middle
Day 3: Show Time
A joke and then a song with some "choreography"
Strings:
The dowel can be moved to change the rubberband pitch
Strum the rope
Or you can always make the shoe box guitar...we ran out of time for that one :)
