Science buskers – Sounding Good

 Think Physics are helping to run a science buskers’ after-school club at Kenton for year 9 students. The science buskers will put together some hands-on activities to create workshops for primary school pupils. Before they go into primary schools, they need to try out some activities themselves to decide which will be the most fun for their target audience.

In the first session, we tried out a bunch of activities to investigate sound. We made different instruments from coathangers, a slinky spring, straws, plastic cups and lolly sticks and looked at different ways to amplify sound.
