Vibrating means small, quick back-and-forth movements. When you pluck a rubber band, it vibrates, when we talk our vocal cords vibrate, everything vibrates when it makes sounds.

Pat's class is given an empty metal can with plastic wrap stretched across the top secured with a rubber band. His teacher sprinkles salt on the top of the plastic wrap. He is given a tuning fork and told to strike it on the desk and touch it to the side of the can. The rice starts to jump and he hears a sound. Why is this happening?

He is given a tuning fork and told to strike it on the desk and touch it to the side of the can. The rice starts to jump and he hears a sound. Why is this happening?
The salt moved because of the vibrations of the tuning fork. When struck on the desk it begins vibrating which makes a quiet sound. When the tuning fork is placed against the can it gets louder because the can is also vibrating. This causes the rice to start "jumping" because it is also vibrating. Pat will hear the tuning fork, metal can, and the sound of the rice hitting the plastic wrap because of the vibrations.

How does hitting a drum produce sound?
How does hitting a drum produce sound?
A drum produces sound when it is struck with a hand or object because the skin or outer covering vibrates. The air vibrates and sound waves move through the air producing the banging noises we hear with drums.

Why was there no humming sound when there was no vibration?
When materials (including our vocal cords) vibrate, a sound is produced. When the students hum, there is a vibration; when there is no sound, there is no vibration. For sound waves to be produced, the material has to vibrate.

Students are told to make sounds in class. They stomp their feet, whistle, clap, and snap their fingers.
What do all these sounds have in common?

What do all these sounds have in common?
All of these sounds have movement in common. Something is moving before or during the sound so cause it to happen. Vibrations from clapping or whistling create the sound waves that carry the noise we hear to our ears.
