ALL ABOARD: WE’RE GATHERING STEAM
This week we head over to Mellow Marsh with our TECHNOLOGY-focused activity. It’s time to make a buzz with our butterfly noisemaker.
You’ll need:
- Popsicle stick
- Construction paper
- Elastic band
- String
- Markers
- Glue
Instructions:
- Trace and cut out a butterfly shape.
- Decorate your butterfly.
- Tie a string near the bottom of the popsicle stick.
- Place the popsicle stick in the middle of your butterfly and glue it on.
- Now stretch your elastic band over the top of the popsicle stick.
- Hold the string by the bottom and swing your butterfly noisemaker around.
- It’ll create a buzzing sound!
What’s creating that buzz? When you swing the noisemaker in the air it creates vibrations. The buzzing sound comes from the elastic band vibrating against the popsicle stick.
