Grades: 3rd - 5th (Ages: 9 - 12) Co-ed

Strum, buzz, and pop! How does sound travel? How do your ears hear? Investigate the complex auditory system and how things fly in this fun hands-on adventure! Build a guitar, kazoo, pan flute, and whistle from scratch and simulate sound waves while exploring pitch, tones, and frequencies. Then discover the science behind flight and test different model airplanes, kites, and rockets while exploring aerodynamic forces!
