String Thing is an interactive online game in which learners change a virtual string's tension, length, and gauge to create different musical pitches.

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

In this hands-on art and science activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners brainstorm and discuss how humans use wetlands, then express their understanding of the subject in artwork.

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

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

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.
