Using a plastic cup and some grains of rice, this lesson will model to your students how our eardrums work as they experiment with different noisemakers to make the rice vibrate. Teach your class about what happens if we had a tear in our eardrums and why it is important to keep our ears healthy.
Recommended for Years 3 – 5.
