Papercup Telephone
Children make telephones using two paper cups connected by a string, exploring sound vibrations and communication through a fun hands-on activity.
Materials :
- Paper Cup
- Thread
- Scissors
- Masking Tape
Challenges:
- Pass the sound through one paper cup to another with the use of thread.
- Connect as many paper cups as possible and see up to what number of the cups the sound can pass.
- Let the kids figure out if the sound passes if there's any block in the thread.
Questions to be asked:
- How does sound travel in this? What acts as a medium for the travel of sound?
- If the thread is loose, does the sound travel well? Or does the sound travel well when the thread is tight?
- If there is any obstacle created in the thread or if you touch the thread or move it, does the sound travel?
