Light and Sound

Duration 45 Minutes

Primary 4-7

Can we see in the dark? How does music work? This show explores the principles of light, including reflections, shadows, rainbows and mixing of coloured light and paint. The science of sound is also explored including vibrations, hearing and pitch. Finally, changes in the speed of light and sound are used to answer the question: How far are we from a thunder storm?
