In this activity, the learner will experiment with the physics of sound production while making a sound making toy. The activity includes a video with step by step instructions.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when they give a light source like a neon glow lamp a "Bronx Cheer." The lights appear to wiggle back and forth and flicker when learners blow air throu

Oboes's unique sound originates from the two small reeds a musician blows into. Make your own double reed instrument out of straw!

This is a series of three quick science activities to do with a spoon, knife, and fork. In the first two activities, learners use the flatware to explore optics, mirrors, reflection, and distortion.

Things that are different sizes and stiffness vibrate differently, and in this Exploratorium Science Snack, you'll see how rings of various diameters react to vibration and external forces.

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 turn an ordinary metal coat-hanger into a (very quiet) musical instrument.
