Twisted Sounds
“Durn it, this SHOULD work!”
Well, what can you say? Sometimes your science experiments just don’t turn out the way you expect them to, no matter HOW stubbornly you pursue them.
Making Waves
In November 2009, the Explorers investigated the nature of waves.
The Explorers Club Straw Band
The Explorers created their own musical instruments in September 2008. The best part is that the instruments barely cost anything at all, and when they wear out it only takes a few minutes to make new ones!
We started with plain old plastic "bendy straws," which when bought in bulk cost less than a penny apiece. The Explorers tried blowing through these straws, and quickly discovered that the effort creates...well, no sound at all, actually. Something is missing.
Bottle Tunes
October 16, 2008
The Explorers create music by investigating how bottles that are identical produce different notes when they have different levels of water in them.
