Eyes and Ears
Discover the wonders of sight and sound with this KS2 Science quiz! Let's explore how our eyes and ears, the amazing sense organs, help us see and hear.
Our eyes give us sight, letting us read, write, and catch a ball. Ears help us hear, allowing communication and alerting us to danger. Harry Houdini, the famous entertainer, said, "What the eyes see and the ear hears, the mind believes." But how do these incredible organs work?
