Stethoscopes are instruments used to amplify sounds like your heartbeat. Your doctor is trained to use a stethoscope not only to count the beats, but he or she can also hear things like your blood entering and exiting the heart
and its valves opening and closing. Pretty cool!


Today you will make and test a homemade stethoscope. Even though it will be pretty simple, you should still be able to hear your heart beating and your heart pumping. You can also use it to listen to your lungs, just like your doctor does.

    Hi Aurora,
    Just wondering would it still work if I superglued the tube inside the funnel?
    I don’t have tube big enough or a funnel small enough.
