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!.
