Traveling Through Matter

Our sense of hearing allows us to listen to and experience the world all around us! Sound can even be heard very far away from the source due to soundwaves providing a method for sound to travel. When those soundwaves enter our ears, they cause our eardrums to vibrate which produces the sound we hear! Many of the sounds we hear travel through the air around us. But, do you think sound can travel through other environments, in addition to gases like air? Let’s carry out an investigation in order to learn more about how sound travels through different environments and if sounds are impacted by these environments!
