Experiment: Can sound travel through a liquid?
Click together two stones, two blocks, or two pot lids. Listen to the sound. Then submerge them in a basin of water or bathtub, and listen to the sound they make under water. Record your results.
Experiment: Can sound travel through a solid?
Hold one end of a 12-inch ruler 1 inch from your ear and scratch on the far end of the ruler. Note how loud the sound is. Then move the ruler 13 inches away from your ear and scratch on the near end, so that you are making noise at the same distance from your ear as before. Compare the sound you hear and record your results.
