Science - Making sound

Today, we investigated which material is the best for creating sound. We made our own drums using plastic bowls and different materials (tin foil, paper, greaseproof paper and clingfilm) and then in small groups we took these outside to test the level of noise they created. Each group had varying results however, we were all in agreement that there were some variables we had no control over, such as the noise from other classrooms and the wind.
