On the 12 of february 2014 our class walked to see the hearing association person she told us about who easy we can damage our ears. There were three things we could do and they were turn it down or walk away or block your ears. Her name was Caroline. Caroline talk to us about our hearing. She was telling us that we have little hairs in our ears. The class did some experiments about vibrating. She each gave us a ping pong ball and a turning fork. We held the tuning fork by the end at the bottom. Then we hit the floor with the tuning fork and put the ball beside it. The vibration made the ball hit it then bounce back. The  next experiment that we did was hitting the turning fork to the floor again. This time the class  hit it to the floor and the class did what  Caroline told us to put our finger and we could feel the vibration in the metal. If you stared at it was blurry when you looked at it and it was all fuzzy as well.  We also played with pipe cleaners to pretend that they were our hairs in our ears. We were moving the tips of the pipe cleaners as well to pretend that they were hearing sounds.  At the end we had the pretend, stereo up and they were going really fast. Then we made the tips go really fast and, at the end the pipe cleaners were all bended and twirled around and twisted. I Learned that we have little hairs in our ears. I enjoyed learning what things to do if you hear loud noises and they were walk away or turn it down or block your ears.
