Musical Bottles

Question

How can I make music with glass bottles and water?

Hypothesis

If the amount of water is increased so the pitch gets lower.

I can make music with the bottles of water.

Materials

8 glass bottles
Water
Food coloring
Ruler

Procedure

1. Put water in each bottle with pitcher

2. Start with 1 of water and increase amount with each bottle.
3. Put food coloring in each bottle. (Make different colors)
4. Play a song.

Results

When I hit each bottle, the sound is different. I can play a song with the bottles of water
and a ruler.

Conclusion

When there is a little bit of water in the bottle, the pitch is high because there is more
room for the sound to vibrate. The bottle more water I put in the bottle, the lower the
pitch because there is less air. This makes it possible to play a song.

Musical Bottles
The Musical bottle is very interesting. Many people want to
know and How can I make music with glass bottles and water?
You can actually play music similar to xylophone using glass
bottles, water and a stick, a spoon, or a ruler. Compose your own
songs or play some familiar tunes on your bottles.
The Hypothesis, I think its the amount of water is
increased the pitch gets lower. Then I can make music with the
bottles of water. You could make it by yourself, if you have all of
Materials are Ruler, 8 glass bottles, Water, Food coloring.
Firstly, Pick out some glass bottles that make a good
tone when you strike them with a spoon. For example, you can
use Starbucks bottles, glass juice bottles, Snapple bottles, tall
drinking glasses or any other bottle made of glass. You need
eight of them.
Secondary, Fill one bottle almost to the top with water, Fill
the next bottle with less water and the next with less. Keep
going until you've filled up the last bottle, which you will add just
an
inch or so of water to.

bottle, the faster the bottle vibrates, therefore the higher the
pitch will be. Finally play bottles music that you can find on the
Internet. You may need to alter the amounts of water in each
bottle to obtain the right tone and pitch to make the music sound
right. Write numbers on your bottles so you can follow the music.
When there is a little bit of water in the bottle, the pitch is
high because there is more room for the sound to vibrate. The
bottle more water I put in the bottle, the lower the pitch because
there is less air. This makes it possible to play a song.
