Exploring Sound with Tuning Forks!

Over the past two days, first graders have been exploring sound vibrations through the use of tuning forks!  After mastering how to get the tuning fork vibrating and making a sound, they did a few experiments which made the vibrations much more visible to them - they touched the vibrating tuning fork to a piece of paper, to a "drum" with glitter on it, to a dish of water, to a ping-pong ball, and to their elbow while their finger was gently placed in their ear.  All produced some very fun and clear results!  Ask your child about them!
