Last Tuesday four scientists came to visit. Esther, Bianca, Sam and Joe helped us make lots of strange noises with Airzookas, straw oboes, an echo box, bottles of water and a coat hanger and a fork!
We look a bit strange with our fingers in our ears but that's the way to hear the loudest noise when you tap the coat hanger with the fork. Steven said it's because the sound goes up the string and into your ears. Wow Steven. That's really cool scientific thinking!

| Zane is holding an echo box. We had to wobble it around and it made some VERY loud noises bounce out of the box and hurt Arleyah's ears! |
 |
| Luke, Mina, Cairo (and Dakota from Room 3) are playing Straw Oboes. It was really hard to get the sound that Joe demonstrated but some of us managed. When we got it right, it sounded like a room full of angry ducks! |

| These are Airzookas. Come back and read the blog again because we hope that there will be some great recounts of how we made them. |
 |
| This was hard too. We blew gently across the top of the bottles and the bottles made different sounds because there was more water in some of them. |
We also made Ice Cream. It only took a few minutes and it was YUMMY! We're going to write some recounts about that too so you know how to make it. But there was a secret ingredient that you probably can't buy so you will probably just have to buy your ice cream at the supermarket.
See you soon.

Hello Room 2 - what super scientists you all are! I didn't see the echo box when Esther and her team were out - what sounds did you hear??
