Eligibility:

Class II to VI

 

• What is sound?
• Do you know how sound is created?
• Can you speak on the moon?
• Do explosions in outer space cause loud noise?
• Did you know human ears are capable of hearing only a certain range of frequencies?

• What is the difference between a sound wave, a radio wave and a water wave?

 

Sounds interesting? Do you have the same questions? then join our workshop to learn the answers and do experiments related to sound. We will be demonstrating fun experiments with items found at home to help you understand the basics of acoustics.

Do you want to be a sound engineer? This could be your first solid step in that journey.

 

Workshop Objectives:

• Understand the nature of Sound
• Learn about sound waves and its mechanism of propagation
• Perform some experiments and activities to reinforce the concepts
