Make it click

One press of the button, one click out of the speaker.

  1. 1Tap the battery, then the button, then the resistor, then the speaker.
  2. 2Tap the speaker, then the battery.
  3. 3Press the Sound on button, then tap the red dome.

NOW Tap the battery, then the button, then the resistor, then the speaker.

What to look for: A click when you press and another when you let go. A speaker only makes a sound when the current changes.

Why it works: A speaker only makes a sound when the electricity changes. Press the button and the electricity jumps from nothing to something: click. Let go and it jumps back: click again.
