Year 3 (Class 9) - Science - Hearing

Today we investigated how animals’ ear shapes and sizes affect their hearing. 

We discussed the different animals we knew with good hearing and then looked at pictures of animals that live in the wild. We shared our ideas about how and why their ears move. 

We then tested different ear sizes to see which ones helped us to hear the best. We discussed the difficulties people might face if their hearing was impaired and we learnt how to sign our own names. 

We discussed what might happen to animals born deaf in the wild.
