In this activity, learners create a xylophone by filling glasses with different amounts of water and tapping them with a metal spoon.

This activity guide includes instructions on how to build a "Shake Table" by mounting an eccentric mass (off center) on the shaft of a small dc motor.

In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.
