Participants will explore sound and how the composition of certain materials affects the vibrations they produce. They will make a table and record information describing the different materials investigated and the variation in pitch. This session relates to the NGSS - Plan and conduct investigations to provide evidence that vibrating materials can make sound and that sound can make materials vibrate.
Learn about electrical circuits by messing around with batteries and bulbs! Explore how to connect the wires to the battery to make the bulb light up and how to use a folded strip of aluminum foil as wire. Experiment with different materials to determine which conduct electricity and which are insulators. The session culminates with participants making an electrical card or electrical sculpture.
