See Sound Travel

What We Did
In this experiment everyone stood in a line facing away from the source of the sound.  

When a whistle is blown the people in the line put up their hands.

What Happened
Watch to see what happens


What we saw... The people in the line  put their hands up at different times.  The closer people to the sound put up their hands first.  The people far away put up their hands last.

What is Happening
The people hear the sound at different times and so put there hands up at different times.

What does this MEAN?
Sound takes time to travel to your ears.  

Take a look at this video of an explosion.
Look closely.  What do you see?
