2 Make small balls with the tissue paper. Place the balls on the cling film.

3 Put the bowl next to the speaker of the CD player. Play some music.

4 Gradually increase the volume of the music. The paper balls will begin to move.

5 Try different kinds of music. Does your favourite music make the balls move? How loud does the music need to be for the balls to move?

How does it happen? The vibrations from the CD player make the air around it vibrate. When the music is louder, the vibrations are stronger. These vibrations make the cling film on the bowl vibrate. This is why the balls of paper move. Different types of music produce different vibrations. Some music will make the cling film vibrate when the volume is low, and some music will make the cling film vibrate when the volume is loud.

The objective of the game To be the first player to reach the end, square 100.

Play the game Place the question cards in a pile next to the board. Each player starts on square 1. The first player to roll a six starts the game. Take turns to roll the dice, moving your counter the number of squares shown on the dice. When you land on the top or bottom of an animal or object, pick up a card and answer the question. If you land on the BOTTOM of an animal or object and you answer the question correctly, move your counter up the animal or object to the top. For example, if you land on square 9 and answer the question correctly, move up the telescope to square 30. If you answer incorrectly, stay where you were. If you land on the TOP of an animal or object and you answer the question correctly, stay where you are. If you answer incorrectly, slide your counter down to the bottom of the animal or object. The first player to reach square 100 is the winner.
