SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Former elementary school teacher Matt Shurtleff — known to many students as “Matt the Mad Scientist” — demonstrated how sound waves move using water and lasers.
Shurtleff, who now runs the Evil Scientist Academy after-school program in Utah, joined ARC Salt Lake to show how sound vibrations can travel through different materials and create visible patterns.
The demonstration helps students better understand how sound behaves — turning an invisible force into something they can actually see.
