How to reference this medium
We recognize immediately whether we are in a small room with not much space in it or whether we are walking through a big hall. The sound and the echo of our steps tell us the dimensions of the room.
We know from experience: When we find a cave, we shout into it to see how big it is, before we dare to enter it.
Information and ideas:
The recording simulates different rooms. A sequence of sounds is played. At first, you have the impression you are in a small room and, at the end, in a big hall.
There can be a class discussion about what the rooms might look like.
Relevant for teaching:
Reception of stimuli and processing of information
Senses discover the environment
