Cup Experiment

TITLE

1. QUESTION/OBSERVATIONS

How do different medium affect sound?

2. HYPOTHESIS

I predict that the different material we use will affect the way it sounds, because it might be thicker than the other.

3. EXPERIMENT

Equipment/Materials: At least 2 Cups, String, Nylon, Thick wool, Thin wool, Ribbon, Toothpick, Ruler/Tape,

Process/Method: 1.) Get 2 cups put a hole through the bottom in the middle. 2.) Measure your medium (String/Nylon etc) so they are the same length. Attach the Medium to the cup with the toothpick. 3.) Test - Make sure each test the string/medium is taut. 4.) Rate the sound and record. (Quality/How loud)

4. RESULTS

My experiment on my first cup with the Wool was alright. Enough to hear and do a conversation with others. The quality would be... Loud! My experiment with my second cup with the wire was below okay. Because I couldn't quite hear the other person that was talking to me. Plus it echoed a lot. The quality would be... Below Average.

5. CONCLUSION:

My Hypothesis was right. The different material we used did affect the sound.
