How+do+you+hear?

__Project Name:__  How do you hear?

__Project Idea:__  Students will investigate the relationship between sound and vibrating objects by illustration as well as by summarizing the relationship between sound and objects of the human body that vibrate (ear drum/vocal chords). Students will create an instrument that demonstrates sound/pitch due to air column variances and develop a diagram of the ear drum or vocal chords. *Is there a way to include animal sounds (some use for warning signs, communication, etc)* *Tarantulas pick up vibrations to find their prey*

__General Content:__ Essential Standards: Force and Motion… 2.P.1.1 and 2.P.1.2 taught! (air columns determining/affecting sound/pitch; vibrations- both how we "hear" and how we speak)

ELA CCSS: R.I.2.4, R.I.2.7, W.2.2, W.2.7, SL.2.1-2.6, L.2.1-2.6 (a lot of encouraging of these, not “teaching”) (Research/writing an informative/explanatory paper, collaboration on such project; speaking and listening during a presentation, 21st century tie in)

__Driving Question:__  How could we develop an instrument to evaluate auditory processing?  or  How could we develop instruments to demonstrate auditory processing?
