In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this online activity, learners test their ability to hear different frequencies and compare their frequency range with the frequency range of other animals and insects.

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

In this math lesson, learners extend their understanding of basic probability concepts as they learn to name all of the possible outcomes of an event as well as ways to express the likelihood of such

In this activity, learners discover that two pendulums suspended from a common support will swing back and forth in intriguing patterns, if the support allows the motion of one pendulum to influence t

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

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.

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

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

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

In this math lesson, learners identify the likelihood of an event by using a walk-on probability scale.

In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.

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.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

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