Ringing Fork

What You Need:

• 3 foot length of string or thread
• Fork

Instructions:

1. Tie the fork to the center of the string.
2. Tie one end of the string around your right index finger, and tie the other end around your left index finger.
3. Touch your fingers to your ears and let the fork hang in front of you.
4. Have a friend tap the fork with a spoon and you’ll hear a loud ringing in your ears! The sound has traveled up the string to your ears.

Tip:

Try tying other metal objects to the string and see what sounds they make.
