Understanding how sound travels through the ear.

Drama in the ear!
 
Today we learnt that sound is made by vibrations.  These vibrations travel through the solids, liquids and gases around us. 
 
Our ear is a clever piece of biology and traps the sounds.  These travel through the middle ear and into the inner ear before heading along the auditory nerve to our brain. Once there, our brain can translate vibrations into recognisable sounds.
 
We had great fun pretending to be all the individual components of the ear.
