The Digital Bits Science Labs are fun science experiments for young children. Kids, make sure you have an adult's permission before trying any of these science experiments.
This experiment shows the concept of energy transfer, how kinetic energy can be transferred from one object to another. While a “drum” and “drum sticks” are required below, this experiment can actually be done with any drum-like and drumstick-like objects. A big inverted tupperware container and two big wooden spoons, for example, will work fine.

Description: This experiment shows how sound is created. Use this as an introduction to show how rapidly vibrating objects will create sound. In this case, we’ll use something as simple as a drinking straw.
