| Biosonar - Seeing with sound |
|
|
|
It is difficult for us, as visual creatures, to grasp the idea of 'seeing with sound'. This site helps you to understand how animals use noises to make sense of the world around them. This is a Shockwave-based web site. |
Young science students can be introduced to the hidden world of biological sonar by this on-line interactive resource. The study of biological sonar covers topics relevant to science key stages 2 and 3 of the (U.K.) National Curriculum, including waves, sound, vision and hearing. Furthermore, the resource includes numerous activities, otherwise known as games, which facilitate and stimulate investigative learning. You will find resources here ideal for short science projects (e.g. one afternoon). Intriguing and thought-provoking subject matter will be combined with interactive activities to provide potential for learning about these fascinating creatures, about their unique sense of biological sonar, and about the nature of scientific investigation.
