Noisy noisy balloon
I found a fun sound experiment where you drop a nut (the metal type) into a balloon and inflate the balloon. When you shake the balloon you can get the nut to circle around inside, making a neat whirring sound (thanks to the repeated pattern of the edges). Jr scientists A and E had fun playing with this one. Making the sound is clearly easy enough for a baby - Jr scientist E had no trouble making it go. The only downside is that the nut starts to make tiny tears in the balloon after a few minutes, resulting in an increasingly small (and less fun) balloon. Maybe we should start buying balloons in bulk.
