Behold the Magic of the Tuning Fork

I didn't know what to expect during my first day as a teacher in a public school, but I figured that I might as well look the part, so I tied a ribbon to my tuning fork and hung it around my neck. It was the best thing that I could do as a new teacher! The students asked me what it was when they entered the room, which led to a brief discussion about sound and vibrations. It's also the best way to kill extra time when the teacher's a little late because you can walk around the room and let each student listen to the "Magic Fork." I couldn't believe how quiet the room was. It even drew the attention of students waiting to get on the bus.
