What Makes Sound?

This is a science center activity to explore sounds made by common objects. The tray on the left contains a drum, castanet, keys on a ring, paper to crumple, water in a bottle, retractable pen, egg with rice inside, and a nut inside its shell. The tray on the right has a collection of bells. Children can use these just to hear the different sounds or play a sound guessing game with a friend.

Other objects that could be included: velcro, zipper, rainstick, squeaky toy, coin purse with coins.
