And today we're gonna talk about volume.
Volume can mean how loud or how soft a sound is.
It can also mean, how much of a solid, liquid or a gas a container can hold.
We're gonna make a xylophone using glasses and water.
Make sure to do this experiment with a grownup.
First I got different size glasses, I added water in each glass in different amounts.
You can use a plastic mallet like this one from my toy xylophone.
[glass ringing different notes] I hope you can make some great music with your glass xylophone.
