WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
  • Cotton string
  • 2 metal spoons
  • Scissors

WHAT YOU DO:
Step 1: Cut a piece of string so it that is the same length as the distance between your finger and your elbow.
Step 2: Tie one end of the string around the middle of a spoon’s handle.
Step 3: Wrap the free end of the string around your finger three times.
Step 4: Bring your finger close to your ear and let the spoon dangle.
Step 5: Tap the hanging spoon with the second spoon. What do you hear?

Congratulations, you are now a scientific musician!
Sound is made up of vibrations. Your ears detect vibrations coming through the air. When these vibrations hit your eardrum, the signal travels to your brain so you can hear the sounds. In this experiment, the sound from the vibration of the spoon travels directly up the string to your finger, and then to your ear. You hear this sound as little chimes. Sound travels quickly through solid objects because the molecules are stacked close together. The vibrations can pass through a solid faster than through a liquid or a gas. The chiming sounds louder and richer when you use the string and your finger because they are solid. They make a path that lets more of the vibrations reach your ear.

STRAIGHT FROM THE SCIENTIST'S MOUTH
HOW DO ANIMALS SURVIVE IN THE WINTER?

While animals don’t have the option to turn up the heat in their homes, nature has given them a powerful arsenal to battle the elements.

Here are three strategies that they use to keep themselves warm during the cold winter months:

HIBERNATE: Some animals such as grizzly bears, hide away in a warm, safe place and fall into a very deep sleep. They lower their body temperatures and slow down their heart rates to save energy. Hibernating animals wake up in the springtime when the cold weather has passed and food is plentiful once more.

MIGRATE: Some animals such as ducks, walk or swim to a warm place that has more food.

ADAPT: Some animals such as arctic hares, can adapt to the cold weather by changing their appearance. They grow warmer fur or feathers and sometimes change color to camouflage themselves against the snow.
