Oboes's unique sound originates from the two small reeds a musician blows into. Make your own double reed instrument out of straw!

Find out what it would be like to have ears shaped differently from your own! Design and make different animal ears then try them out.

In this activity, learners will create a speaker using a paper cup, magnet, and enameled wire. Also included in this activity is a Mr.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners listen to songs and decode hidden messages based on the same principle as a modem. As a final challenge, learners decode the binary messages in a music video.

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

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

In this activity, learners build their own sound machines and explore the interplay of motion and sound.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

Learners build a simple electromagnet, then use this electromagnet to transform a yogurt container into a working speaker. They can connect their speaker to a radio and listen as it transmits sound.

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

In this activity, learners build a slide whistle using PVC pipe, bamboo skewer, and piece of foam. Construction of the instrument is relatively simple.

In this activity, learners build a musical drum using a cardboard tube, plastic wrap, and beads.

Learners design and create musical instruments from common objects; their challenge is to create an instrument that can make three different tones.

In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.
