The topic of sound is introduced in a familiar, accessible way complete with key terminology. A detailed depiction of the anatomy of the human ear is paired with description of the individual elements that allow people to hear sounds.One section addresses what sound can do and how it can aid oceanographers in their study of the ocean floor. Sonar pulses can be used to measure how far away objects are based on our knowledge of how fast sound moves.
Special attention is paid to protecting hearing by avoiding exposure to loud noises for a prolonged amount of time.
This book will entertain and inform 6th graders and up.
