Project #3: Sound Activated Switch (Electronic)
This was our first project using a speaker and a Whistle Chip, so we were kind of curious to see what would happen. We took turns snapping the parts together and were ready for the moment of truth. When we turned the circuit on, it emitted a little pattern of music that sounded like the music that an ice cream truck plays. We also found that when you clap next to the Whistle Chip, the music will play again. This happens again if you touch the base of the Whistle Chip. So technically, there are three ways to get the music to play: by switch, by clapping, and by touching.

Watch us fill the classroom with the sound of music.
