Audio Boggle is an activity that lets you listen to a track (that you make yourself) and see what you can hear!

Create an instrument that you don't play--you just listen to it through tubes of various lengths.

We listen to stereo music systems, tv's, and radios because it simulates being where the sound originates.

In this group activity, learners see and hear the speed of sound. A learner designated the "gonger" hits a gong, once every second, as the rest of the group watches and listens from a distance.

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

In this activity, learners use a compact disc to make a spectrometer, an instrument used to measure properties of light.

This game is like regular bingo, except the clues are sounds.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.

This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

In this cooperative game, learners devise strategies about sharing a small space with each other.

From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

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