    This document provides instructions for an activity where students explore how sound is produced through vibrations. The activity has students drag their thumbnail along a string attached to a paper cup to make a growling sound, simulating a bear's growl. It is explained that dragging the thumb along the string causes it to vibrate, producing the sound. Students are prompted to consider how a guitar and drum also work by causing vibrations. The purpose is for students to gain an understanding of how sound is created through vibrations as part of a first grade unit on light and sound.

    your hand and drag your thumbnail down the length of the
    string. Your bear just growled!
    What made that noise?

    Vibrations!

    When you dragged your thumb down the

    what produced the sound!
