This WebQuest discussed the ear as one of the part of human body that works in wonders with its minute features. It explored the process of hearing with child-friendly sites that my students will be able to relate to. In order for my students to advocate for themselves, they need to understand the hearing process to explain to other people on how they can cope.
Thanks for the experience.
I will be able to make use of this!
