This awesome diffraction grating experiment puts high school students' applied math skills to the test by having them calculate the wavelength of laser light.

This experiment investigates whether there are certain sounds that affect men and women differently

In this sound experiment children listen for differences as they tap on a bag of air, a bag of water, and a wooden block held up to their ears.

This project determines what percentage of test subjects react adversely to the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and explores their physiological responses.

In this project students determine which instruments composers use to create birdsongs and birdcalls in classical music.

How does a kazoo, the strings of a guitar, or the speaker of a radio make sound? The purpose of this science fair project is to show how vibration makes sound.

This classic children's game-connecting two cups with a string-demonstrates sound's ability to travel through air vs through a solid.

Using an empty tennis ball can and a swimming pool, you will determine if it's possible to have a conversation under water.

Discover whether different amounts of water added into a wine glass will produce a different pitch when their fingers are rubbed along the rim.

This classic children's game demonstrates how sound travels through air vs. through a solid.

This science fair project idea produces sounds by creating vibrations using different objects.

This science fair project idea shows how a vibrating object transfers energy to whatever it touches.

This science project examines the history of earthquakes and what we can do to prevent future disasters.

This science fair project demonstrates the principles of reflection through simple experiments involving mirrors and light.

This science fair project idea demonstrates sonar mapping of the ocean floor.

This experiment will explore how mallets of various materials and weight create sonic tones of varying lengths.

Find out the differences (if any) in the frequencies of voices produced from a computer, from a phone, and directly coming out of the voice box of a human.

Observe how your brain works while it is focused on one thing, and how it works while you are distracted by another thing.

Find out whether matching resonant frequencies can cause objects to shatter.

Determine the relationship between the speed of a sound and the temperature of the air it passes through.

Demonstrate how we are able to locate sounds, echolocation. Have a blindfolded subject locate you by the sound of your clapping.

In this science fair experiment, students learn about the scientific principles behind Doppler ultrasound.

This science fair project idea produces varying pitches of sound.

Find a mathematical relationship between the intensity of a sound wave and distance from the sound source. Use a pedometer and a sound level meter.

The purpose of this science fair project is to build a basic radio.
