In this activity, learners use a compact disc to make a spectrometer, an instrument used to measure properties of light.

In this activity, you'll use a straw, a water bottle and a paper tube to make an instrument that's very much like a saxophone.

From this How To slide show, you create an Audio Tape Bow that can play distorted audio sounds by running it across a tape head.

Put on a pair of gloves and be the conductor of your invisible orchestra!

In this math lesson, learners participate in a variety of activities that give them experience in recognizing, describing, and extending repeating and arithmetic patterns.

This is an activity about music, movement, and math. Learners will start a rhythm pattern with 2, 3, or 4 beats. For instance, tap your foot, jump, clap, repeat.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.
