CUP PHONES (2nd Class Peadar)

2nd Class learned all about communications inventions this week, including Alexander Graham Bell’s invention of the telephone. Here, we are experimenting with conduction of sound along a wire (or wool string). At the end, children were able to explain how the telephone works (“You press a button and talk into it”); how the television works (” You press a button on the side and it comes on.”) and even radio (“You turn the button that says On and Off when you want it not to work anymore”).

Here are the pics
