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 game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.

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 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 game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

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

In this activity, learners use sound to figure out, or infer, the position of objects. Learners create a maze inside a shoebox with blocks of wood.

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

In this activity, learners investigate sound wave science, in stereo! Learners construct a "stereo" out of a metal coat hanger and piece of string to explore sound vibrations.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

Discover how sound travels and what materials make better sound conductors. Can you hear better with your fingers in your ears? Find out with a coat hanger and some string!

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

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

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

Sound can travel through a variety of media.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

Put a string around your head, and play it! Learn about vibration, sounds, and pitch.

See and hear how sound waves travel through different types of materials. Extend the experiment online and learn how you can "see" with sound waves using ultrasound.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.
