Sound
Identifying Sounds -Did you have fun in science lab trying to identify different sounds that were recorded in the science lab at Campbell School? Try your hand at this activity! Make sure that you play each game by clicking on the "next" arrow on the bottom left-hand side of the game.
Juice
Bottle Jingles
-Did you enjoy
making our musical instruments in science lab using water, plastic stirrers and
beakers? This activity also allows you to create music using bottles with
different amounts of water in them. They even give you the written music
to perform different songs!
Sound
Beats -In class, we learned that pitch (highness &
lowness) is controlled by the frequency of the pitch. This sound experiment allows
you to listen to sounds that have a similar frequency. When you play two
pitches that are similar in frequency, you will hear pulses (or beats) due to
the interference of the sound waves.
Sight
vs. Sound Reflexes -Which will you respond to faster, seeing
something flash on the screen or hearing a sound? This activity will explore
this question by letting you design your own experiment. The results just
might surprise you?
Dangerous
Decibels Virtual Exhibit -If you're not careful,
you can actually do permanent damage to your ears if you don't take care of
them. Remember, you're only born with 2 good ears. If you don't take
care of them, you could suffer from permanent hearing loss. This site has
a lot of great activities to learn about how you can protect your ears.
How
Loud is Too Loud? - Check out this
interactive sound ruler to learn about how loud everyday sounds are to our ears.
Find out which sounds may actually damage our ears!
Auditory
Illusions -After our unit on color and light, we're quite
familiar with optical illusions, but did you know that there are sound or
"auditory illusions" as well? This experiment will definitely
play a trick on your ears!
The
Beat Goes on -What happens if you combine different tones
together at the same time? This experiment allows you to do just that!
Some of the resulting sounds are rather interesting to say the least!
Find
the Highest Note -This site has three different sound
illusions that ask you to pick out the highest sounding pitch.... good luck!!
