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 outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior and communication.

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.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

In this activity (4th on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their ears is more dominant.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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

In this activity (last activity on the page), learners make a model of the eardrum (also called the "tympanic membrane") and see how sound travels through the air.

In this design challenge activity, learners add headphones to a previously built instrument (see "Build a Band" activity) to make it easier to hear.

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