ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the procedure for designing and building a stethoscope. This real-world science experiment is structured as a problem-solving activity thus helping KS3 science teachers to engage students effectively in the secondary school classroom. First, background science knowledge for this experiment is provided, along with the learning objectives, list of materials needed, such as plastic tubing of different lengths, cardboard tubes of different lengths, funnels of different sizes, drinking straws, sellotape, scissors, for the experiment, safety and technical notes, and a list of engaging activities to be performed by students. Data collection ideas are subsequently provided, together with useful questions to ask the students and also suggestions for homework.
