Activity is featured in the concert. Activity is featured as a concert fringe event.
(for ages 5 – 9) Materials 5 or more drinking glasses or glass bottles, identical in size Water Wooden stick such as a pencil Instructions Line the glasses up next to each other and fill them with different amounts of water. Add food dyes to the water in each glass. <strong>The</strong> first should have just a little water while the last should almost full, the ones in between should have slightly more than the last. Hit the glass with the least amount of water and listen to the sound produced. <strong>The</strong>n, hit the glass with the most water. Which glass produced a higher sound? See if you can play a tune by hitting the glasses in a certain order. What’s happening? Each of the glasses will have a different tone when hit with the pencil, the glass with the most water will have the lowest tone while the glass with the least water will have the highest. Small vibrations are made when you hit the glass, this creates sound waves which travel through the water. More water (i.e. more mass) means slower vibrations and a deeper tone. *Eco-friendly Tip: Collect rainwater for this fun activity! *Artful Tip: Mix in some food dye for some colouring fun! *ICT Tip: Download a chromatic tuner app for a pitch-perfect glass xylophone!
