The Mechanics of the Sound

Ages 9-12
9 am- 3pm

 

What is sound? Humans typically hear sounds ranging from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Hertz (Hz) is a measurement of frequency. Can you visualize sound? We will explore the mechanics of sound and visualize a range of frequencies by making and experimenting with chladni plates. Create a rhythm by programming a machine.

Fee: $85
