Make Music with Bottles


The image above isn't mine....
If you don't have a xylophone or lyre....
Why not make your own out of jars or 
bottles ? I have read an ecofact
about recycling glass jars in my book, it said:
Recycling just one glass bottle saves enough
energy to run a computer for 25 minutes or a
TV for 90 minutes. Glass made from new materials 
creates more water pollution than glass made from
recycled ingredients. So making this project/ experiment
helps save money (or maybe it cost a little)
& is eco-friendly >w<

>>What you'll need:<<

Glass bottles or jars (it's better if all of them are
in the same size)

Food coloring/ Paint (watercolor) (optional)

Water


Spoon

>>Procedure:<<

1.) Pour the water in each jar/ bottle carefully, make 
sure all of them have different amounts of water

2.) Pour in different food coloring/ paint to each jar/ bottle,
be careful or you might get stained, this will help you remember
which jar is which....Or you can label it with numbers, letters, etc.

3.)Tap each glass with the spoon, Notice that each bottle has 
a different tone or you can blow into them instead..
The more jars you have, the more tones you'll get!

Have fun making music~!
