Do you know what music is? It 's sound just like a honking horn or thunder or a crying baby. These sounds are all around us---some people call this noise, others call it music.

In this kit you 'll find everything you need to make music. You 'll build your own instruments = enough to start your own band = learn how they work and how to play your own songs. Along the way, you 'll also discover some really cool science about how sounds are created.

Over nearly two decades, Scientific Explorer has earned a reputation for creating science activity kits unmatched in the specialty retail market. What's our secret? We make science fun. While it's just as important for children to have as strong a foundation in science as they do in reading and math, test scores indicate that science knowledge is lagging. Our response has been to partner with scientists, educators and parents to develop kits that engage children by promoting hands-on learning, which research shows is the deepest form of learning. No textbooks--just entertaining step-by-step activity guides and eye-catching graphics that walk children through scientific concepts without them even realizing they're being taught.
