In this activity, learners discover how to determine the distance to a lightning strike or nearby thunderstorm.

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 investigate sound wave science, in stereo! Learners construct a "stereo" out of a metal coat hanger and piece of string to explore sound vibrations.

This is a series of three quick science activities to do with a spoon, knife, and fork. In the first two activities, learners use the flatware to explore optics, mirrors, reflection, and distortion.

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 activity, learners observe, explore and investigate vibrating instruments in everyday places and create music in unique ways.

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

In this activity, learners turn an ordinary metal coat-hanger into a (very quiet) musical instrument.
