In science class, the Oaks made a telephone out of a string and two cups.
“We brainstormed methods we can use to communicate from far away, whether that is 6 feet or 1,000 miles apart. We spoke a bit about sound waves and how the cup and string help the sound waves travel to the other cup. Students observed what worked well and what did not when using the phones, all while keeping a distance from each other. One group even tested what would happen if they crossed their string with the string of another group. Would they be able to intercept the call? So much creativity and curiosity!”
