"Learn about sound waves, sound and music, the properties of sound and more"--

"Sounds can be loud. Sounds can be soft. We use our ears to hear all kinds of sounds. But how is sound made? Let's investigate to find out about sound!"--

Light and sound both travel in waves, but sound waves travel significantly slower than light. Theories like this are difficult to grasp in words, but there are easy ways to see them in action. With this book's simple experiments, young scientists will test out how light can bend and how even invisible sounds can make things move, helping them understand how even the most complex theories work. Through step-by-step instructions, young readers will...

"Budding scientists will love learning about the properties of sound by planning and carrying out investigations that explore how the energy form is affected by material density, pitch, and distance."--

It seems impossible that the tiny parts of the ear allow us to hear birds chirping, music, and someone speaking. Each sound travels through the air and causes the parts of the ear to vibrate. The brain uses this information to tell us what we've heard. That's just the beginning of what this book can teach readers about sound. Detailed, colorful diagrams and simple explanations show readers how echoes work, how sound is recorded, what ultrasounds are,...

"Explore the world of sound with engaging text, real life examples and fun step-by-step experiments. This book brings the science of sound to life, explaining the concepts then getting kids to be hands-on scientists!"--

Presents projects and experiments about sound, covering such aspects as vibrations, vacuums, waves, and the transmission, reflection, and speed of sound.

Uses simple experiments to describe the properties of sound and demonstrate how sounds are formed and how they travel, why animals can hear sounds that humans cannot, listening in stereo, and more.
