Can you make a musical instrument using recycled items?

Let's work together! Split into pairs for this fun learning activity. Think like a scientist and research lots of instruments. Use your team working skills to design and make a music maker. Can you make it vibrate to make sound? Then let's come together in a class orchestra or band.

Did you know that taking part in Music Makers will contribute to your pupils' recommended 60 daily active minutes? Let's get going.
