Light & Sound

We had a great morning exploring light and sound at Science Saturdays! We began our exploration with some optical illusions, which the young scientists found to be quite fun. After learning a bit about how white light isn't actually white, we explored refraction via the use of prisms, CDs, and refraction glasses. It was quite fun to create rainbows throughout the classroom.

During our study of sound, we explored various ways to amplify sound via the use of balloons and cups. We created different sounds with straws and then we were able to see vibrations via the use of rubber bands. We learned that by placing our fingers along different places on the rubber bands, we were able to create new sounds.
