Inner Ear:

  • What is earwax? What is its job?
  • The eardrum is sensitive and made of thin skin. How does it work and collect sounds?
  • What happens when the eardrum vibrates?
  • What are the ossicles? What is their function?
  • The inner ear has the cochlea – what is this? What is its job?
  • The ear creates nerve signals and sends them to the brain. That is how we hear!
  • Create a diagram to show the journey of sound through your ear – use the song in the video to help you!
