DIY Music Maker Science Lab provides children with ten immensely entertaining STEM-based activities through which they not only learn about the science of sound, they also have the pleasure of making and playing their own musical instruments! Everything needed to make a box guitar, ocean drum and pan flute is included in the kit, while the fourth and final instrument, a water xylophone, is created using items easily available in any kitchen. These instruments form an integral part of the highly enjoyable learning process and are the basis of several experiments that enlighten youngsters as to the interrelated workings of pitch, vibration, and acoustics. The set's 36-page storybook and lab guide gets things under way with an illustrated tale that stirs young scientists' imaginations while also imparting a good deal of knowledge and nomenclature relevant to sound and music. The musical instruments are easy to build and to play, the STEM activities designed and organized in such a way as to maximize kids' understanding of the principles involved in the science of sound!
