Musical Jars

Hear for yourself how different musical pitches are created through sound vibrations.

Who knew that making music is as easy as putting water in glass jars? Today, with just a few items from your kitchen, you will be able to hear how different pitches (high and low) are created through sound vibrations. You can even make your own song with this simple and fun experiment. All you will need is 4 glass jars of equal size, a metal spoon, and water.

This activity was created exclusively for STEAMfest by Taylor Martin, Woodlawn Performing Arts Teacher.

Watch the video, make some music of your own and tell us about it in your journal.

 

Journal Questions
  1. Did you expect for the jars to change sound? Which jar did you think would make the highest pitch?
  2. What would happen if our jars were not all the same size?
  3. Try the experiment with a liquid other than water (like orange juice!). Does it still work?

Earn badges and qualify for prize drawing by registering and answering journal questions. It's fun and easy!
