Investigating strings

Roxana brought in her violin and we learnt that you can make sounds on a violin by plucking the strings with your fingers and by sliding the now over the strings. 

Josh noticed that the four strings on the violin are different thicknesses which is what makes the higher or lower pitches. Roxana told us that the thinnest string makes the highest sound while the thickest string makes the lowest sound.
