Hands-on; Make “better” ears! Why do animals’ ears look different from yours? What would life be like if your ears were shaped differently? Can you create an ear shape that will help you hear better?
Materials:
Materials:
- Paper
- Pencil
- Crayon
- Scissors
- Tape, Glue, or Stapler
- A variety of construction or recyclable materials including (but not limited to) construction paper, cardboard, plastic pieces, or Styrofoam, plastic containers and trays (clean yogurt cups and Solo cups, for starters), craft sticks, and so on.
Learn & Practice:
Learn & Practice:
- Listen to the book What If You Had Animal Ears?
- Sound helps animals in a number of ways. Tell students that having ears on opposite sides of our heads enables us (and other animals) to judge the location a sound comes from.
- Find a safe, comfortable outdoor space where students can sit quietly.
- Then have them close their eyes and listen to the sounds around them for several minutes.
- Provide pencils, crayons, and paper, and ask students to make a “sound map.”
- They can put an X in the middle of a page to represent themselves, and then use pictures, shapes, or words to show the locations of the sounds around them.
- Then review the sound map with the students, ask students the following questions.
- Which sounds did you like most? Least?
- What else did you hear?
- What might have caused the sounds you heard?
- Next, have students create an ear shape that will help them hear better.
- Have students use materials listed above to fashion new outer ears for themselves.
- Look at pictures of animal ears if they need ideas or inspiration.
- Have them be careful not to cover the opening of their own ear when they make these new ear shapes—they want to collect sound in new ways, not block it!
- Go back outside and have students compare their normal hearing with what they can hear when they wear the new ears they made.
- Do things sound different?
Optional Extension: Do things sound different if you’re wearing two different types of ears?
