About This Game

Aligned with NGSS 1-PS4-1, this activity teaches students how vibrations create sound. In 'What Makes Sound?' students categorize items like 'drum' and 'whistle' to determine if they can create sound. Through this exercise, students gain an early understanding of sound mechanics, recognizing that certain materials produce sound through vibration while others do not.
