3. Demonstrations in exhibitiona. Music Therapy
- Comparing the heart beat rate of an audience during normal activity and listening to music with different tempos. listen to music with slow tempo heart beat rate decreases fast tempo heart beat rate increases
3. Demonstrations in exhibitionb. Pillow of different materials
- Let audiences compare pillows which are made of different materials e.g. Memory foam, cotton etc.
- Explaining the difference between them and why we chose the material to made the pillow
3. Demonstrations in exhibitionc. Transmission of sound by skull bone
- The following device is to demonstrate the idea:
3. Demonstrations in exhibitiond. Inflation of the air bags
A small scale model is used in order to demonstrate the method of using the inflation of the air bags to adjust the sleeper in side-sleep position.
