Share your discoveries with your friends or family!
Build Your Own Mini Instrument: Create a simple string instrument using a small box and rubber bands. Stretch the rubber bands over the box and pluck them to make music. Experiment with different sizes and tightness of rubber bands to see how the sound changes. Can you make a high-pitched sound like a violin or a low-pitched sound like a cello?
