Movin' and Groovin'
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game and identify patterns with fun moves and sounds. Discover how dancing and signing involve patterns.

Buzzing Bee
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument toy that buzzes when you swing it.

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

Sound Sandwich
Source Institutions
With a straw, two craft sticks, and some rubber bands, construct a noisemaker called a Sound Sandwich and explore how vibration produces sound.

Metal Noise Maker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how sound travels through solid objects better than through air. Leaners attach a metal clothes hanger to a piece of string and hold it to their ears.

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

Waterbottle Membranophone
Source Institutions
In this activity, you'll use a straw, a water bottle and a paper tube to make an instrument that's very much like a saxophone.

CANdemonium: Make a Drum Out of Recycled Cans
Source Institutions
With three cans and some tape, make a drum that you bonk down on any surface to produce a variety of sounds. This activity also teaches you about pitch, vibration, and frequency.

Bag Pipe
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own bagpipe instrument.

Wandering Wands
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

Slide Whistle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a slide whistle using PVC pipe, bamboo skewer, and piece of foam. Construction of the instrument is relatively simple.

Patterns and Relationships: Here, There & Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

Double Dutch Distractions
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

The Electric Squeeze
Source Institutions
In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

Yogurt Cup Speakers
Source Institutions
Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

Clap Sensor: Build a Sound Sensor Using a Pico Cricket
Source Institutions
This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

Sound Representation: Modems Unplugged
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

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

Join the Dinosaur Age
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

Audio Boggle: Make a Sound Track
Source Institutions
Audio Boggle is an activity that lets you listen to a track (that you make yourself) and see what you can hear!
