What's included?

8 color-coded Palm Pipes and a science activity guide

How does it work?

When you pound the colored Palm Pipe into the palm of your hand, it disturbs the air molecules inside the tube. The action of these molecules creates the vibration that becomes the note you hear.

What does it teach?

Learn how to create vibrations that you hear as music. Discover that the different lengths of pipe create different lengths of sound waves, which in turn create eight different notes.
