But have you ever stopped to think about what sound actually is? Sound is the energy that things make when they vibrate. These vibrations force the air around them to vibrate too, making waves, until eventually even the air inside your ears begins to vibrate. Your brain interprets that sound energy into words, music, or other noises. The volume and the pitch of the sound you hear depends on the source and how much energy it produced.<\/p>\n<p>Sound waves travel pretty quickly. When someone speaks to us, our ears feel the vibrations and our brains interpret them into words almost instantaneously. But sound can only travel to our ears if it has something to travel through, such as air, water, or other materials. In space, where there is no air, sound can\u2019t travel!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Credit:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlepassports.com\/blog\/science\/musical-jars-science-sound\/\">Little Passports<\/a><\/p>\n<h1>Experiments to Illustrate the Science of Sound<\/h1>\n<h2>Directions:<\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>Fill the first jar most of the way up with water. Fill each of the remaining jars with less water than the glass before it.<\/p>\n<p>Tap on each jar again. What do you notice? Each jar now produces a different tone. The empty jars made the same tone as each other, so the different water level causes\u00a0the tones to change. This is because the sound waves are altered as they pass through the water. What is the relationship between the amount of water in the jar and the pitch of the tone? You should notice that the more water in the jar, the lower the pitch. The jar with the least water has the highest pitch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Credit:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.littlepassports.com\/blog\/science\/musical-jars-science-sound\/\">Little
