Problem with buzzers

I am trying to help my son with a basic electronic problem. He has a school
project to complete where he has to construct an electronic circuit where a
buzzer will "BUZZ" when an electronic current is added to the circuit. So I
purchased a "Piezo transducer - HPE-127 and connected each end to each
terminal of a 1.5v, 3v, 6v and a 9v battery. No "BUZZ", just a little static
click and thats it. I stopped short of trying it in a mains outlet as I
think my life insurance premiums may not be up to date.

Any polite suggestions would be most appreciated, bear in mind I know
nothing about electronics other than if you stick your tongue on a nine volt
battery it tickles. Thanks in advance.
