  • Space Sound Maker (Pew Pew Blaster SFX)
    Space Sound Maker (Pew Pew Blaster SFX) Objective: ​ Be Han Solo with a homemade blaster sound effect. Difficulty Level: Easy (ages 8-14)/Medium (ages 6-8) Materials: ​ ● Large paper or plastic Slinky ● Scissors ● String Procedure: 1. Cut two lengths of string about 2 feet long, and tie them to either side of one end of the Slinky (one on each side of the same end). 2. Hold the Slinky by the strings and let it dangle, then stick the foam cup between two of the coils. 3. Lightly pull the Slinky back and let it go. The cup will amplify the sound and you can make great sound effects! What happens if you use a different size of cup? What happens if you put the cup at different places on the Slinky? What’s the Science? When an object vibrates, it causes tiny air molecules to move. These tiny invisible ​ ​ ​ ​ particles bump into each other, traveling until they reach our ears. The outside part of our ear, called the pinna, is shaped so it funnels the air molecules down into the ear, ​ ​ where they bounce off the stretchy membrane we call the eardrum. When the membrane bounces, it also vibrates, making the tiny bones in your inner ear vibrate as well. This helps send the vibrations into a curvy organ sort of shaped like a seashell, called the cochlea, where they are turned into electrical impulses that go to ​ ​ your brain, and we process them as sounds. #ScienceWorksOnline ScienceWorksMuseum.org © 2020 Not all sounds move at the same speed! When the end of the Slinky hit the floor, vibrations traveled back up it and were amplified, or made more powerful, by the cup.
