sound waves

It?s often said that music can soothe the soul. Budding young scientists may wonder how the sounds that make up their favorite music work. This exciting title has the answers! It not only explains key ideas involving sound waves including wavelength and frequency, but it also features activities that allow students to experience what they are learning! First students are instructed to think like scientists using the scientific method. Then they must gather the materials needed for each experiment, which mainly consist of household items such as a pencil and pen, a rubber band, a bucket, and a ruler. Helpful illustrations and age-appropriate instructions then guide readers through each step in the experiment and in learning important STEM concepts. A further information section and a glossary also make this title a valuable addition to any aspiring scientist's curriculum!.

Layla and the Bots visit the Surfside Rescue Center, where they meet a dolphin named Splash, who will only eat when the music is playing, but is very picky about the music--so Layla and the Bots build a machine that uses the sound waves Splash communicates with to change the music.

Birds chirp. A dog barks. Thunder claps. We hear sounds all around us. But how? Sound waves travel through the air, but we don't see them. Readers will learn about sound waves and how we use them every day.

"[Teaches readers] about the properties of sound, including how it travels in waves and through different media, and how it is used as communication"--Back cover.

Do you know how heat, sound and light energy is stored and released, how we can use it, and what happens when it's gone? Find out by making your own exciting experiment.
