In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own instruments using PVC pipes, soda bottles, and a straw.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

In this activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.

String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing tube zithers, stringed instruments from Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

Learners explore soybeans, soak them in water to remove their coat, and then split them open to look inside. They also make a musical shaker out of paper cups, a cardboard tube, and soybeans.

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this activity, learners make some music by constructing a kazoo out of a simple plastic drinking straw. Use this activity to explore sound, vibrations, and music.

In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma
