If you had a headache then Formula base was not the place to be on Thursday afternoon!! We were taking part in a circus of sound experiments based on cool vibrations.
We banged drums and saw how air-vibrating particles made the particles beside them (in this case rice) vibrate as well. We dangled forks from our ears, inflated balloons, said 'Ahhhh', made waves with a tuning fork and plucked rulers. Sounds like fun? It was!
Tuning Forks:
Making rice vibrate on a drum
Playing Sound Snap on the interactive whiteboard
Plucking a ruler and feeling the vibrations
Hitting a fork tied with string and feeling the vibrations in our ears
Hitting a baking tray REALLY hard to feel the vibrations!
We had to write up our findings using scientific vocabulary and drawing a labelled diagram.
