Now Hear This: The Sound of Science
Rock out to the science of vibrations, sound, and music. Using a range of dynamic experiments, students break the sound barrier, make a fiery sound wave, and silence an alarm clock using nothing at all. Strange instruments abound, including one that harnesses the power of lightning to make music.
Capacity: 14 classes (350 students total) per presentation; 1 to 2 presentations per day.
Schedule: Available during school hours, Monday - Friday.
Space / Special Requirements: Gym / auditorium / cafeteria or other assembly-appropriate space.

Primary Connections:
MA Science and Technology/Engineering Framework (2006)
(Massachusetts)
- Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) > 06 Electrical Energy (Grade: 3 – 5)
Recognize that electricity in circuits requires a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass, and that electricity can produce light, heat, and sound. - Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) > 04 Forms of Energy (Grade: 3 – 5)
Identify the basic forms of energy (light, sound, heat, electrical, and magnetic). Recognize that energy is the ability to cause motion or create change. - Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) > 11 Sound Energy (Grade: 3 – 5)
Recognize that sound is produced by vibrating objects and requires a medium through which to travel. Relate the rate of vibration to the pitch of the sound.
