Homeschool Snapshot--Science 3

Anna is learning about sound and hearing. After the teaching lesson, I helped her with the worktext page and she could not identify--any--parts of the ear. The next lesson was an activity. The teacher demonstrated how to make a diagram of the ear--draw it first and then find materials around the house that can represent the different parts of the ear. Finally, label the parts of the ear.

Anna did this one completely on her own. I wasn't worried about quality, but about her learning the parts of the ear. She did the drawing and made some interesting choices on materials to use. Searching for materials was her favorite part. Eraser, piece of a plastic ruler, glass pebble, pipe cleaners and crayon pieces are what she settled on. Then she added her labels and adhered them with velcro so that she can practice. And quiz the rest of the her family!
I have a feeling that when it comes to the test Anna will have no problem labeling the parts of the ear!
