=Title= toc Singing Wine Glasses

Problem Scenario
I chose this question because it seemed like a question that was important in this experiment. **Broad Question** Does the amount of water in a wine glass effect the pitch of it? **Specific Question** Does the amount of water in a wine glass effect the pitch of it? = = Would the amount of water in a crystal wine glass effect the pitch that the wine glass makes?

Hypothesis
I believe that if you put in different amounts of water into crystal wine glasses, the they will make different sounds. **G** **raph of Hypothesis**

General Plan
I will just get a wine glass and fill it with water and run my fingers around the top of it and it will make different pitches of sound.

Potential Problems And Solutions
If the glass doesn't make any sound, I could bring a back-up glass.

Safety Or Environmental Concerns
The glass could fall and break; be extra careful.

Experimental Design
(add the correct headings from the experimental design page before beginning)

Resources and Budget Table

 * Item || Number needed || Where I will get this || Cost ||
 * crystal wine glass || 1 or 2 || at a store || ? ||
 * water || as much as i need to fill cups || my house || $0.00 ||
 * guitar tuner (app) || 1 || my phone || $0.00 ||

Detailed Procedure
Well, I would buy a cup, fill it 1/4 of the way with water, and run my fingers softly and slowly around the top of the crystal cup and soon it will start to make different high pitched noises depending on the amount of water in the crystal wine glass.

** Ph **oto List
My finger, the guitar tuner app. =Time Line= procedure, time line, photo list complete 2/1, begin experiments no later than 2/4, experiments done 3/1, analysis 3/7, discussion/background 3/15, Wiki complete 3/15, poster complete 3/22, kms fair 3/29.

Data Table

 * wine glass || guitar tuner app || water ||
 * 2 || 1 || free ||

All Raw Data
I think that the pitch of sound that comes from the singing wine glasses is going to get higher and higher as i add more liquid to the cups.
