Create your own powered paper speaker and experience how sound is produced through vibrations and electromagnetism.
In this hands-on kit, students build a simple speaker using a paper template, copper wire coil, and magnet, then connect it to a battery-powered amplifier to play audio. As sound is produced, learners can directly observe how electrical signals are converted into movement and then into audible sound.
The focus is on building a working system and understanding how each part contributes to the final result. By assembling the coil, positioning the magnet, and wiring the circuit, students gain practical insight into how real speakers function.
What students will explore:
How electrical signals become sound
The role of electromagnetism in speakers
How vibrations produce audible audio
Basic circuit connections and components
What’s included:
Paper speaker template
Copper wire
Magnet
Battery pack
Mini amplifier module
Connection leads
Step-by-step instruction sheet
Ideal for classrooms, workshops, and home learning, this kit delivers a clear and satisfying build where students create a fully working speaker from simple components.
