    The document describes three experiments on how the pitch of an elastic band is affected by thickness, length, and tautness. The first experiment shows that a thicker elastic band produces a lower pitch than a thinner band of the same length. The second finds that a longer elastic band yields a lower pitch than a shorter band of the same thickness. The third demonstrates that an elastic band produces a lower pitch when loose compared to when held tautly.

    Experimenting with pitch

    The pitch of a musical note means how high or low it is. Musical
    instruments need to be able to play notes of different pitches, so there
    are different ways of making this happen.

    Experiment 1
    Get a thin elastic band and a thick elastic band. Cut them so that you have two pieces
    of elastic that are the same length. Get somebody to hold the thick band at either end.
    Pluck it and listen to the noise. Do the same with the thin band. What do you notice
    about the pitch of each band? Write your results in here:

    Thickness of band Pitch (high or low?)


    Thick band
    Thin band

    Experiment 2
    Now find two elastic bands of exactly the same thickness. Cut them up so that you have
    one long piece of elastic and one short piece of elastic. Get somebody to hold the long
    piece at either end. Pluck the elastic and listen to the sound it makes. Do the same with
    the short piece.

    Length of band Pitch (high or low?)


    Long band
    Short band

    Experiment 3
    Find an elastic band that is any size / thickness. Ask somebody to hold it at either end
    and pull quite hard so that the band is very taut. Pluck it and listen to the sound it
    makes. Now get the person holding it to hold it at either end so that the band is quite
    loose. Pluck it and compare the sound to the previous one.

    Tautness of band Pitch (high or low?)


    Band held tautly
    Band held loosely

    Look at the results of your experiment.

    What three things cause the pitch to get lower?

    What three things cause the pitch to get higher?
