We have been learning about sound during Science. The past two weeks we have been exploring ways to make sound. We have learned that vibrations make sound and sound can make materials vibrate. Today, we made straw oboes. This was a great way for the students to feel vibrations and hear sound at the same time! After making our straw oboes, the students predicted what would happen if the straw was cut shorter! The kiddos predicted correctly that the pitch would be higher! You can make straw oboes at your house! Below is a picture of how to cut a plastic straw and what your straw oboe should sound like :)
