What was the purpose of your experiment? Provide a brief description of what you were hoping to learn, discover, or study.: | The purpose of my experiment was to see if I can put out a candle by using sound waves. |
What was your hypothesis?: | My hypothesis was that I could put out a candle by using sound waves. I thought that I could yell into an empty paper towel roll with plastic wrap on both holes with the candle in front of me and the flame would go out. |
What materials did you use in your experiment? List them all.: | 1. plastic wrap 2. paper towel roll 3. my mouth 4. candle 5. lighter 6. cup 7. tape |
What procedure was followed? Provide a brief description of the steps you followed during your experiment.: | Step 1: Get the materials. Step 2: Take out your empty paper towel roll and plastic wrap. Step 3: Cut an opening in the plastic wrap out about as big as the cup’s top. Cut 2 pieces like this. Step 4: Tape the plastic wrap on the paper towel roll. Tape it to the top and to the bottom. Step 5: Put a candle in front of you. Step 6: Get your paper towel roll and plastic wrap and yell into it while it’s pointed at the candle. |
What were the results of your experiment?: | The result of the experiment was that I could not put out the candle with my paper towel roll gadget. |
What is your conclusion after conducting the experiment? Was your hypothesis correct or incorrect? What did you learn?: | I learned that sound waves couldn’t put out fire because I think the sound waves went right through it because it wasn’t a solid.Since then I watched a video and now I think that the it was too high of a sound. In the video they used a gadget that blasted very low sound at a fire and it put it out instantly. |
