Sensational Sounds

Have you ever noticed how great your voice sounds when you sing in the shower? Your voice sounds louder and sort of echoes. That's beacuse the sound waves from your voice bounce off the hard surfaces in the bathroom. In this activity, you will make a Hanger Clanger to get a better feel for the vibrations sounds create.
