Sound waves


We just learned about Positive and Negative sides of batteries.

When you make a sound, like plucking on a guitar string, it makes a vibration that pushes through the air.

Those invisible vibrations in the air are called sound waves and if you could see them you'd see they look a lot like the waves you see in the water.

The waves travel through the air until they hit your ear, then you hear the sounds!
