Vibration is Sound!

2nd grade has been learning about sound in science, and this seemed like a natural place for us to integrate music and science! We have learned all about how sound is created by vibrations, and we wanted to do an experiment to see sound waves at work.

(Check out the hyperlinks below at housingaforest.com for some great pictures and a video of oobleck!)
We made oobleck, which is a substance that isn't quite solid, and isn't quite liquid. We put the oobleck on a cookie sheet on top of a speaker and played some bass tones through the speaker (thanks to Mrs. Bray, who prepped everything for our experiment!) Below are some pictures of the dancing oobleck!

Please come to the music room during open house on Thursday night, 2/28, for an oobleck demonstration and some information about other things we've been learning about in music class!
