1. Did you know that your ear can be your password to opening your phone? This is called Biometric Verification. The Ergo App is already in place to do such a thing.
Illustrators have been investigating how your ear could be used in this new technology by looking at the unique properties of each ear. You are going to investigate whether your ears are different enough for this technology to work! 2. In pairs, you are to draw your partner's ear in detail. Resources
Printable mm ruler 3. Label your drawing using the following information:
4. Take a photo of the ear you were drawing. Compare your drawing with the photo and make adjustments. How accurate was your drawing compared to the photograph? 5. Measure the actual ear or photographs using the following photographs: Images showing how ear
measurements are made:
a. The ear height (A from image above) b. Ear width (B) c. Conchal width (C) d. Conchal height (D) Put these measurements into a class table - Excel. Are any of these measurements the same for class members? If so, what other sections of the ear could differentiate the ears that have these same measurements? Measure them. Put them into the Excel spreadsheet. What other areas of the ear could help show each ear is different? How would you measure it? 6. Put all the photos of the class' ears onto a whiteboard. Categorise them by working out which ears similar. You could use a dichotomous key to separate each ear. 6. Besides your phone, what other applications can you think of using your ear as "your password"? 7. What difficulties could you think of using the external ear as your password? Any circumstances that would make this difficult? List them!

8. Write down the facts and figures involved with Ear Identification. What did you learn? Share with another group of 4.
