About This Product

Hearing and the Human Ear - 1-2 day lesson package. This lesson package has both physics as well as biology elements. The main focus of the lesson is to provide information about hearing to students in regards to what kinds of sounds are heard, the possibility of hearing loss caused by everyday activities, and the anatomical features of the ear which allow us to perceive sound.


This physics lesson package includes the lesson (student and teacher versions of the presentation), an auto-graded Exit Ticket, TEN videos, and a student lesson handout as a document. The presentation is fun and applicable with many opportunities for inquiry-based learning and discussion.

In order, the lesson covers:

  • Hearing Tests

  • Hearing Frequencies

  • Hearing Loss and Earbuds

  • Teen Hearing Stats

  • Hearing Loss Prevention

  • Sound Intensity

  • The Human Ear

  • Outer, Middle and Inner Ear

  • Semicircular Canals and Balance

  • Hearing Aids


Google and Distance Learning Ready

  • This lesson includes both Office and Google formats for ALL resources. The presentation is in PowerPoint and Google Slides while all documents contain Word and Google Doc versions.

  • Your resource is perfect for distance learning and integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom as I've included a link that will automatically create a copy of the resources and put them directly into your Google Drive with one click.

  • Download --> Open --> Click --> Assign to your students

Having both options allows you to use either without worrying about formatting issues as all the work has already been done for you. It safeguards you in case your department or school decides to go Google 100% and allows you as well as your students to access everything no matter where you are or what kind of equipment is being used.


Included in the lesson package is:

  • Google and Office versions of each resource

  • The teacher version of the presentation

  • The student version of the presentation

  • Auto-graded Exit Ticket

  • TEN videos embedded into the presentation

  • Student lesson handout


The student version of the presentation contains multiple blanks that need to be filled in throughout the lesson. These blanks are conveniently underlined and bolded on the teacher copy. I have found this to be the most effective means of keeping my students engaged and active without having them write everything out. This also leaves more time for discussion and activities.

Also, please visit my blog Teach With Fergy for my thoughts on teaching, learning, and everything in between.
