Musical BottlesQuestion How can I make music with glass bottles and water?Hypothesis If the amount of water is increased the pitch gets lower. I can make music with the bottles of water. Materials 8 glass bottles Water Food coloring Ruler Procedure 1. Put water in each bottle with pitcher 2. Start with 1” of water and increase amount with each bottle. 3. Put food coloring in each bottle. (Make different colors) 4. Play a song.Results When I hit each bottle, the sound is different. I can play a song with the bottles of water and a ruler. Conclusion When there is a little bit of water in the bottle, the pitch is high because there is more room for the sound to vibrate. The bottle more water I put in the bottle, the lower the

pitch because there is less air. This makes it possible to play a song.

TOPIC: Musical BottlesLAST: Conclusion When there is a little bit of water in the bottle, the pitch is high because there is more room for the sound to vibrate. The bottle more water I put in the bottle, the lower the pitch because there is less air. This makes it possible to play a song.

FIRST: Question How can I make music with glass bottles and water?

1. Put water in each bottle with pitcher 2. Start with 1” of water and increase amount with each bottle. 3. Put food coloring in each bottle. (Make different colors) 4. Play a song.

Procedure

When I hit each bottle, the sound is different. I can play a song with the bottles of water and a ruler.

Result

When there is a little bit of water in the bottle, the pitch is high because there is more room for the sound to vibrate. The bottle more water I put in the bottle, the lower the pitch because there is less air. This makes it possible to play a song.

Conclusion

NEXT: Play song & Enjoy with musical bottles

ORIGINAL DRAFTMusical Bottles

The Musical bottle are very interesting. many people want to know and “How can I make music with glass bottles and water?” You are can actually play music similar to an xylophone using glass bottles, water and a stick ,a spoon ,or a ruler. Compose your own songs or play some familiar tunes on your bottles.

The Hypothesis, I think it’s the amount of water is increased the pitchs gets lower. Then I can make music with the bottles of water. You could make it by yourself, if you have all of Materials are 8 glass bottles, Water, Food coloring and Ruler.

Firstly, Pick out some glass bottles that make a good tone when you strike them with a spoon. For example, you can use

Results

Starbucks bottles, glass juice bottles, Snapple bottles, tall drinking glasses or any other bottle made of glass. You need eight of them.

Secondary Fill one bottle almost to the top with water. Fill the next bottle with less water and the next with less. Keep going until you've filled up the last bottle, which you will add just an inch or so of water to.

After that, Tap each bottle with a stick, a ruler or a spoon and notice the difference in sound and tone. You will notice that the less water in the bottle, the faster the bottle vibrates, therefore the higher the pitch will be. Finally Play bottle musics that you can find on the Internet. You may need to alter the amounts of water in each bottle to obtain the right tone and pitch to made the music sound right. Write numbers on your bottles so you can follow the music.

When there is a little bit of water in the bottle, the pitch is high because there is more room for the sound to vibrate. The bottle more water I put in the bottle, the lower the pitch because there is less air. This makes it possible to play a song.
