We went on an field experience to a guitar shop of our choosing. We dove into building our own diddley bows. We used this to learn about how to change the different parts of the wave. I understand waves a lot more now. I really enjoyed this unit and am proud of my action project. How does your device produce sound?  The vibrations of the string carry to the can and that amplifies it out to the surrounding area. The tin can focuses it on where it heads out to. How do the various parts work? The bridge works by keeping the string tight and away from the The body is the tin can and that allows the waves to bounce around inside and projects the waves out.

It can be used similar to a simulation As a student I have the right to learn about the real world. After all that is what we are supposed to be ...

Hi, this was our first AP for the winter term. In this unit we learned about light and how to capture light. We became familiar with the different properties of light and how it is a particle in some experiments and a wave in other experiments. We got to take and develop our own pictures in a dark room and learned how to use reflection and refraction. Overall this was a great unit.
