In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

In this interactive game, learners compare their music-listening skills with that of a three-month-old baby.

In this activity, learners create a hearing based memory game that they can share with friends.

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

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 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.

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

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

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 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

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 physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.

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.
