Science experiments in 5th/6th!
In Science class we have been learning all about how sound travels. We did several experiments using different materials!
We wrote up the correct procedure for our experiments and had lots of fun doing it!
Take a look at our experiment below!
Experiment: To investigate whether sound travels better through a solid or a gas.
Materials:
One friend.
table
A piece of paper and a pen to record your results
Method:
1) Sit opposite your friend.
2) Knock on the table.
3) Listen to how loud the sound is.
4) Ask your friend to place their ear against the surface of the table.
5) Knock on the table again.
6) Ask your friend to describe how loud the sound is through the table.
Results:
Did you discover what we did?
When you listen to the knocking sound through the table, it is much louder.
Conclusions:
Sound travels better through a solid (table), than through a gas (air).
