Rubber Band Guitar

You will need a rubber band. If you have different shapes and sizes of rubber bands, even better! A sound is made when something vibrates. Take your rubber band, stretch it out and give it a twang. You can even see these vibrations! Did you know: The study of sound itself is called acoustics. This is also the name for non-electronic music – so your rubber band bass experiment is both!
