Scream Science

Every Year groups of young people go out and pay lots of money to get scared and scream! Halloween is the opportunity to scare people to get a good scream. If you have never been to a hunted house before, here is a funny video of lots of people screaming. It is a little scary so be warned.

My curiosity asked, "How does the human body scream?"

Good question me, here is how the human body makes sound.

In short, your voice is like a musical instrument. Let us compare this to a violin. In a violin there are 3 main parts needed to make sound:The bow, the strings, and the chamber. The bow or your fingers provide the power needed to make sound. The strings vibrate. The chamber or hollow body of the violin makes allows the sound to resonate.

The human body also has a power source, vibrator, and resonator. The power comes form the lungs. The voice box or vocal cords provide th vibration. The mouth and nose provide the resonance.

That all you need to scream! With power in your lungs, strong vocal cords, and your mouth opened wide, you are ready to scream this Halloween.

Enjoy the scare.
