In this activity, learners turn an ordinary metal coat-hanger into a (very quiet) musical instrument.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

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.

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing their very own bagpipe instrument.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

This game depicts a woman going through her day, faced with various loud sounds.

In this activity, you'll use a paper cup, a piece of cloth, and some string to make a musical instrument called a cuica (pronounced KWEE-kah).

This game plays a dozen different sounds, altered to simulate what they would sound like if you had hearing loss.

In this quick and easy activity, learners build an air cannon "drum" and see what happens when they "shoot" puffs of air at different targets.

In this activity related to music and sound vibrations, learners make a phonograph or record player out of simple materials. First, learners assemble the turntable, arm, and sound cone.

Do you have an extra portable cassette tape player hanging around?

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 activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.
