Article: Make a frying pan sing.(Science)

If you can find a heavy, frying pan in the kitchen, you can make it "sing" for you. Sounds silly? It actually is a fun experiment with sound. You have to provide the sound, and it will take you a few tries to "teach" your frying pan to sing. But when you sing the right "song" into the pan, it WILL sing it back to you.

WHAT YOU NEED:

* a heavy frying pan

* a piece of heavy string or rope about a foot long

* patience

WHAT YOU DO:

Tie the string on the end of the handle of the frying pan. Hold the other end of the string so the frying pan is hanging down. Hold the frying pan near your face.
