Floppy ears

Most people can't move their ears. However many animals can! Watch the ears in the next video:

Think about the advantages of being able to move your ears.

Then do the next experiment:

- Put the volume of your computer at LOUD.
- Listen to this sound:
- Put your hands behind your ears like in the picture in the top right of this page.

Was the sound louder the second time around? Why do you think this is?
