How to reference this medium
The teacher instructions include information on the following: the main question, relevance to the curriculum, skills, notes on conducting the subexperiments, the research group, further research assignments, and the reference to values.
The experiment comprises three subexperiments:
• Parade of ears
• Directional hearing
• Making loud noises quiet
Our sense of hearing is very important. However, we can lose it permanently, for example, through exposure to too much noise. Many children are unaware of this, and therefore it is important to sensitize them to their own, individual sense of hearing and to provide them with a better understanding of hearing.
Notes:
• Observe the safety information in the instructions as well as the applicable safety guidelines for your school.
• All materials mentioned in the instructions will have to be purchased directly from commercial sources.
