The Ears and Hearing.

HEARING. The Nature of Sound Sound, like light, comes in waves Sound is vibration Features of sound include: –Pitch / Hertz – Loudness / Decibels.

Hearing: How do we hear?. Hearing: The Nature of Sound Module 9: Sensation.

THE EAR is a sensory organ responsible for both hearing and maintenance of balance composed of three sections: the outer, middle and inner ear.

You better be listening… Auditory Senses Sound Waves Amplitude  Height of wave  Determines how loud Wavelength  Determines pitch  Peak to peak High.

SOUND Entry # 10. Sound: –the vibration of particles that travel in a longitudinal wave. –a mechanical wave which travels through a medium When that disturbance.

Sound waves and the Ear. Sound Sound travels in waves. We “hear” vibrations of molecules.

The Nature of Sound Sound, like light, comes in waves Sound is vibration Features of sound include: –Pitch –Hertz –Decibels.

When a sound is made, the air around the sound vibrates. Hearing starts when some of the sound waves go into the ear.

Presentation transcript:

Topic The human ear Level Key Stage 3 (or any course for students aged 11-16) Outcomes Students can explain the function of the pinna, eardrum ossicles, cochlea and auditory nerve Information for teachers This activity should be used once students have been introduced to and had time to consolidate understanding of i) how sound travels and ii) the structure and function of the human ear. Print slide 2 to A3 to give students room to write in the table. www.thescienceteacher.co.uk | resources for science teachers who like to think

Analogous feature (select one of the objects above) funnel water ripple lever drum copper wire Structure Analogous feature (select one of the objects above) How is the analogue similar to the ear structure? How is the analogue different to the ear structure? Pinna Eardrum Ossicles Cochlea Auditory nerve To read about how the sound is amplified by the ossicles click here: http://health.howstuffworks.com/mental-health/human-nature/perception/hearing3.htm Now use your knowledge of the structure of the ear to explain how humans hear sound.
