Didactical comments
 
Pupils will do many questions about the apparatus (exploring and discovering). Making a model of human ear with simple materials, they will understand how the sounds transmit from the outer ear to the middle and inner ear. They will understand the working of basilar membrane in the cochlea which is a application of resonance and how the brain understand the different sounds.
