20 kits with
Manuals provided are contained in a sturdy plastic box with 5
compartments where the parts can he saved after experimentation
* For Class of
32 students, suggested Group Kit Distribution
4 Groups of 8 students perform Experiments I through 14
Each Group
divided into 4 Teams, Each Team uses 4 Kits and Manuals in
Compartments 1 through 4 in the Box
The Teacher utilizes 4 Kits and Manuals in 5th compartment
Detailed
suggested kit distribution provided in kit
Since 2 students
share one kit (parts in bag in each compartment) at any given
time during experimentation, and have the freedom to exchange
parts this kit provides parts for individual experimentation.
Also, all the experiments are performed by 16 Two- student Teams
simultaneously, the entire Class of Students can practically
perform 14 experiments. Time per student to complete 14
experiments is estimated at approximately 4 hours.

Description
This kit
initiates students through a series of 14 Hands-on experiments
and provides a further understanding of the phenomenon of Sound
beyond HPK SOUND-01.
Experiments
include the fabrication of tubular musical instrument, the
generation of different frequencies of sound using different tube
lengths, the fabrication of a string instrument, a reed
instrument, the variations of sound produced in them,
experiments with different kinds of whistles and sounds produced
using balloons.
The final
experiments are the fabrication of a Spinner and the variety of
Sounds capable of being produced using mechanical force impulses
of a bead on a plastic strip.
In addition to
the above, there are thought-provoking and stimulating
questions on the subject for the students after many of the
experiments.
The accent in
design of this kit has been low-cost with maximum utility.
