How to build a Xylophone

Today I did my first experiment and it was quite fun even though I forgot to record but when I do the next experiment I will be sure to record. What we needed for this experiment was some glasses of water that has water in them and don't have water in them. I started tapping my pencil on the glasses and it sounded like and Xylophone. What you do is have different lengths of water in each cup so when you tap each cup it would sound different. After I did that we grabbed 5 pieces of paper and rolled them up then taped them to stay in that rolled up shape. After that I started cutting them to different lengths so when I tap it with my pencil it would sound different.

Materials 

5 Pieces of Paper
-
A pair of scissors
-
Tape
-
A Pencil
-
Glasses of water

  1. Kia ora Viliami, it does sound like your first experiment was fun. I agree, using your webcam to record would be helpful. Especially being able to hear the sounds from the different lengths of paper as you tap them.

  2. Hi Villiami,
    I am a student from Panmure Bridge school, and I really enjoyed reading your blurb about your experiment. I like how you made an experiment linked with music. I also like the idea of making a xylophone out of pieces of paper. Maybe with the next experiment try include a video showing how you created it. Does your xylophone work?

    Great Job!

  4. Hey Villiami. My name is kali and I really like how creative you are and the Xylophone that you made looks really cool. It reminded me of when at was at school doing a music lesson with my music teacher! Could you decorate your Xlyophone?

  8. HI Viliami,
    My name is Neha and I love the idea of making a xylophone. Its actually cool to make a xylophone so people can make them instead of buying them. It reminds me when I was making one at home too. Maybe next time you should make a video and record its sound. Also can you make designs on you xylophone? But good job in making the xylophone.
    Blog you later

  9. Kia Ora Villiami,
    I'm a student from P.B.S (Panmure Bridge School). I like that you've explained how the different water level in the cups made a different sound. I also like how you've made a materials list on what people will need to create the makeshift xylophone. Next time you do one of these experiments maybe try to include a video. Could you do some research about why the different water levels in the cups made a xylophone noise?

    Nice work!

    I am Angel and I go to Glen Innes School
    You are very creative!
    Even if you didn't make a video.
    I see this is your first experiment. Well I'm sure that when you tapped it, it made different sounds!
    Because I tried that.
    Anyways keep up the great work.
    Thank you for sharing!
