Introduction
Welcome! Did you know that we hear through sound waves? Sound waves are very important because it carries sound right into the ear. This tells the brain what kind of sound you are hearing. Loud noises make large sound waves. Soft or quiet sounds make small sound waves. Hearing is one of the five senses. This webquest will help you use your sense of hearing.

Challenge
