Can people with large ears hear better than people with small ears?Answer
No, The part of your ear that is important for hearing is inside your ear, where you can't see it. The size of the outside part of your ear makes no difference in how well you hear.
Sounds make our ear drums vibrate which sends a message to the brain. Is this what an ear drum looks like?
We use sound to find out what is going on around us. Sound is used to communicate or for pleasure.
Sound waves travel away from the source in all directions. It travels in a circular shape or 360 degrees.
Yes sound waves must have a medium to travel through. These can be solids, such as wood, steel or a wall; liquids such as water, juice or pop; or a gas such as air.
Sound waves can not travel through space because sound waves need something to travel through such as air, water, wood or steel. Space is a vacuum with nothing to travel through.
What happens when the sound waves move further and further apart?Answer
The sound gets harder and harder to hear when the sound waves moves further apart.
What did we learn from the plastic cup and string telephone experiment?Answer
That sounds move through vibrations. We were able to hear what was said into the cup because the sound vibrated up the string from one cup to the other.
That sounds move out from the source and travels in all directions (360 degrees) and the sound gets harder to hear the further away you are from the source.We also learned that some people hear better than others.
We learned that sound can travel through liquids such as water, solids such as wood, and gas such as air.
That high pitched sounds have short wave lengths that are close together (they are higher frequency), and sounds with a low pitch have larger waves lengths spaced further apart (they are low frequency).
The outer ear or the pinnaThe part of the ear you can see. It collects sounds and funnels them into the ear
The ear canalSounds travel through the ear canal to get from the outer ear to the middle ear.
The Hammer, the Anvil and the Stirrup. Stirrup Anvil Hammer The three small bones in the inner ear lead the sound striking the eardrum, further into the inner ear
The semicircular canals Three half-circular, interconnected tubes located inside each ear. Each canal is filled with a fluid and contains a motion sensor with little hairs (cilia).This part of the ear regulates balance.
Cochlea The cochlea turns sound vibrations into electrical signals ... these travel along nerves to the brain.
Vocal chords are two leathery flaps inside a person’s throat. Normally vocal chords are separated by a space so air can pass between them and you can breathe. When you use your voice, your vocal chords move close together.
