Sonic Science

Ever wondered what sound is or how it travels? How do we even know a sound is being made? Find out as we use tuning forks, speakers, ping-pong balls, smoke rings, and an oversized model of the ear to explore the world of sound. Introducing concepts including pitch and frequency, states of matter, and human anatomy.

Booking this show includes one week's access to the show, three questions and a challenge to help spark further thinking and a discussion, and a lifetime subscription to our OpenUpScience magazine, a free, fortnightly, six-page magazine filled with facts, puzzles, quizzes, and experiments that can all be done at home.
