Explorers

The Explorers spent a session in November 2011 investigating sound waves and how they can be changed and manipulated to make music.

In March 2011, the Explorers endeavored to reach for the stars. Well, for the tops of the trees, at least.

Okay, so we didn’t quite make balls of fire—maybe “Great Rings of Smoke” would be more accurate.

During our previous meeting we investigated the nature of sound waves. One of the things we briefly discussed was what these vibrations in the air might look like if we could actually see them. This time out we tried to find a way to do something close to that.

The Explorers kicked off the 2010-2011 school year by making super-cheap musical instruments out of straws.
