The students examine the sound - the basic question "What is sound?" is answered by a spring steel strip and a steel needle.
In this experiment, a tuning fork is struck and held in a bowl of water. The behavior of the water surface is observed.
In this experiment, a ball is held by the thread to a tuning fork. This is struck and the students observe the behavior of the ball.
In this experiment it is observed when a sound can be amplified.
The volume of the sound is compared through a hearing tube and an ear piece.
The students use high and low tones to investigate when a tone-producing body vibrates faster or slower.
The students use test tubes to check whether sounds can be heard.
In this experiment, sound bars are stimulated to vibrate, which produce a tone and are transmitted through the air as sound.
