Light and Sound Expenment

This afternoon LS1 Room 5 went to the reserve and did an experiment. We needed to put our hands up when we heard the clapper. We made a long line beside the water. Ms Kirkpatrick was at one end. When she clapped the sound travelled down the line. We saw the clapper before we heard the sound because light travels faster then sound.

And there in the quiet living room

As if it had never stopped

Instrument Art
