Linguistics Outreach

These materials were developed for Paws on Science; an annual event put on by the Pacific Science Center to help UW scientists connect with the public. They were designed with an elementary-school audience in mind.

• Posters explaining the activities. I would recommend picking a maximum of three.
• Sounds files for the binaural listening and phoneme replacement activities.
• Tables banners with QR links for the PNWE project website, the binaural listening sound file and the phoneme replacement sound file.
• Words for the syntax tree. Cut them out, laminate them and place velcro dots on the backs of the words and the poster with the syntax tree.
• You will also need:
  • popsicle sticks/tongue depressors
  • crepe paper
  • head phones
  • MP3 player
  • easels or another way to mount posters
  • (recommend) alcohol wipes for headphones
  • (recommend) sanitizer
• All art on these posters was labelled for commercial reuse with modification and you’re free to use my materials (including recordings) for educational purposes.
