In this activity, learners construct wands that play different notes depending on information from light sensors programmed via a PICO Cricket.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound), learners will construct an oboe-like instrument from a plastic drinking straw by cutting the end to split it into t

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

Learners build pan pipes out of drinking straws by cutting them to different lengths. Then, learners make music by blowing across the straws and playing some well-known songs.
