The ear detects sound waves and converts them into nerve impulses that are transmitted to the brain. The brain then interprets these impulses as sound. The ear also helps control balance by detecting head position and movement. Through a class discussion and observing charts/videos, students will correctly identify ear parts and functions, explain how sound waves are detected, and briefly describe how hearing correlates to balance maintenance.
