Physical Science: Laser light makes sound wave patterns visible

I built my own laser light sound visualizer. Using a tone generator and multiple tones you can create some awesome light patterns. We showed this to all of our physical science classes. The excitement of our classes was pretty cool. Many students stopped to take pictures of the oscillator and talked about building their own. The cost of the contraption was hardly anything, just the laser light.

The El Guapo Loco Science Show--Episode 5: Sound in Peru

In this episode of the El Guapo Loco Science Show, Mr. Weir will show the kids what Machu Pichu is and some of the animal life that is found in Peru. A Peruvian dance will also be shown. El Guapo will teach students what sound is. The final science project will find students creating Pan flutes using nothing but Bic pens, erasers, and scissors. Students can make as fancy a flute as they want. Spanish words that are taught are Gracias, Si, and Qué Pasa.

El Guapo Science: Mylodons, Caves, and Energy in Chile

In this episode of the El Guapo Loco Science show, Mr. Weir and El Guapo visit Chile. They get to visit a cave where once lived a Mylodon, a giant sloth. Students will learn about cave formations like stalactites, stalagmites and cave bacon as well as animals that can be found in caves. El Guapo demonstrates the transfer of energy between a basketball and a tennis ball. If you are a teacher or parent be sure to check out my websites: 3rdGrade.xyz and EducationalResource.org.
