Sounds Amazing EDUCATION PROGRAMME

Date: Friday, May 28, 2010

Let your students learn about the science of sound and how music is made.

Explore how sound is created and measured, how it travels and the technology of sound manipulation. How do musicians get different notes from their string,wind or percussion instruments? Find out by strumming the giant harps, striking the gamelans, playing the slap-a-phone (bongo pipes) or tickling the ivories of the giant keyboard. Investigate whether sound can travel in a vacuum, produce a transverse wave pattern and a longitudinal wave pattern in a string, and and manipulate laser generated wave patterns to create shapes.

Suitable for Year 3 - 11 students. Curriculum links to Science (Physical world), The Arts (Music) Pre and post visit activities available.
