NIU Science Saturday - The Science of Sound 2-11-12

Date: February 11, 2012 Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Event Description

Add some wonder to your weekend!

Beginning in February, NIU STEM Outreach is presenting interactive hands-on science classes to help students in grade 4 and up explore scientific concepts on everything from the physical properties of sound waves to the forces that keep roller coasters from flying off their tracks.

Students can sign up for just one or as many sessions as they want. Parents are welcome to attend their students' classes and get in on the fun.

Explore the science of sound by discovering how instruments make different noises. Then, showcase what you've learned by building your own instruments and speakers. No previous musical experience is required, just a good ear for fun!
