A book of scientific experiments revealing some of the mysteries of sound that combines learning about science, math and music. Uses commonly available materials.

Explores how sound is made, the way it travels, and the process by which it is heard, with an emphasis on how musical instruments make their different notes, and includes experiments using household items.

Provides a variety of simple experiments investigating the science behind sound.

This book describes how it's possible to hear and feel sound, how sound travels and moves, as well as dimensions of space. It discusses making sounds and noises, waves, properties of sound and sound effects. It also includes sounds of music.

"A thorough, inviting look at what sounds and music are all about...34 easy-to-do activities that demonstrate the scientific concepts behind sound waves, pitch, acoustics, scales, etc...full-color photos and cartoon artwork...add appeal and interest." --S"chool Library Journal ..".entertaining and interesting experiments...many colorful illustrations and photographs contribute to the educational experience by visually engaging the reader...useful resource, both enjoyable and stimulating. It is recommended strongly...""--VOYA ..".explores the physics of sound through a series of activities using fairly common materials..."--B"ooklist It's music to your ears--but why does one instrument make a different sound than another? What separates music from noise? And, how do we hear tone and rhythm? Uncovering the answers to these questions is a symphony of fun, "and an entertaining way to understand physics and math! Each of these delightfully illustrated safe and "sound" experiments uses ordinary materials to teach fabulous facts about the bangs, slaps, whistles, claps, and harmonies in our world. Entertaining to look at and enjoyable to do!

Topics include what light and sound waves are, how they travel, and how the human body sees light and hears sound. Facilitates planning for the divese learning styles and skill levels of middle-school students. Glossary, materials lists, inquiry investigation rubric, and bibliography included.

Science certainly does not need to be complicated formulas, heavy text books and geeky guys in white lab coats with thick glasses. Science can be really simple and is actually only about understanding the world you live in! Science experiments are an awesome part of science that allows you to engage in cool and exciting hands on learning experiences that you are sure to enjoy and remember! By working through the science projects in this book, you will learn about science in the best possible way – getting your hands dirty & doing things yourself! Specially chosen to appeal to kids in grade 3, each experiment answers a particular question about a specific category of science and includes an introduction, list of the materials you need, easy-to-follow steps, an explanation of what the experiment demonstrates as well as a learn more and science glossary section! Each of these easy-to-understand sections helps explain the underlying scientific concepts to kids and will inspire them to create their own related experiments and aid in developing an inquisitive mind. Amongst many others, you will send secret messages to your friends with your own invisible ink to understand how chemical reactions works, construct a rocket to see how objects fly, make a self-filling water bowl for pets using air pressure, and make a light bulb shine using a lemon as a battery to learn about electric current! Other fun experiments include growing your own crystals along a piece of string, making an electrical doorbell for your room, telling the time with your own water clock, cutting through ice with a string, making a spool ‘walk’ with the energy stored in an elastic band and many, many more! The 40 projects contained in this science experiment e-book cover a wide range of scientific topics; from Chemistry and Electricity to Life Sciences and Physics… there are even experiments on earth science, astronomy and geology all designed for young students in grade 3! With this book, you are sure to find a project that interests you. When you are interested in a certain science topic, you will have more fun, and learn more, too! Designed with safety in mind, most of the items you will need for the experiments, such as jars, aluminium foil, scissors and sticky tape, you can find around your home. Others, such as magnets, lenses or a compass, you will be able to buy quite cheaply at a hobby shop or hardware store.

A valuable, one-stop guide to collection development and finding ideal subject-specific activities and projects for children and teens. For busy librarians and educators, finding instructions for projects, activities, sports, and games that children and teens will find interesting is a constant challenge. This guide is a time-saving, one-stop resource for locating this type of information—one that also serves as a valuable collection development tool that identifies the best among thousands of choices, and can be used for program planning, reference and readers' advisory, and curriculum support. Build It, Make It, Do It, Play It! identifies hundreds of books that provide step-by-step instructions for creating arts and crafts, building objects, finding ways to help the disadvantaged, or engaging in other activities ranging from gardening to playing games and sports. Organized by broad subject areas—arts and crafts, recreation and sports (including indoor activities and games), and so forth—the entries are further logically organized by specific subject, ensuring quick and easy use.
