Abstract
Sounds to Astound is an acoustics demonstration show, produced for the community twice yearly by the Brigham Young University Student Chapter of the Acoustical Society of America. The free, interactive demonstration show explores the science of sound for a target audience of fifth- to eighth-grade students. Introductory acoustics concepts, such as longitudinal wave motion, wave properties, propagation effects, and standing waves, are taught with live demonstrations, animations, and videos. The goal of this paper is to inspire and encourage readers in their outreach efforts by describing the purposes of Sounds to Astound and technical details of several entertaining and educational demonstrations. Lessons learned from a decade of these student-produced shows serve as an aid for future efforts and highlight the benefits of outreach efforts, particularly for the students involved.
