When one person talks into their cup, the cup vibrates. The sound energy of these vibrations passes along the string. The string is a solid, so the particles are very close together, and the vibrations can pass quickly and easily along the string. The vibrations then pass from the string into the second cup, which also vibrates. These vibrations pass through the air particles into the second person's ear, who can then hear the sound of the first person's voice. The sound of the person's voice is louder through the string than it is through the air over the same distance. We had great fun chatting with each other through our telephones. ![](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/images/Class%203/BeFunky_Collage2(12).jpg) Take a closer look at our photos in our [photo gallery!](https://www.aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/photo-galleries/spring-term-2-2018-1) [Art and Design ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/tag/art-and-design) [Science](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/tag/science) [ Maths in Class One](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2018-01-30-08-00-00-maths-in-class-one) [Pupil Blog - English ](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/blog/2018-02-22-14-31-04-pupil-blog-english) ### Comments ##### Seb *6 February 2018* I loved making the string telephones and using them with leighton ##### Evie *28 February 2018* I enjoyed making and playing with the string telephones and I love using them with Millie ##### isla *1 March 2018* wow class three you are all so creative in class well-done :) ##### Beth *1 March 2018* I loved making string telephones with my partner and discovering how they work. ##### Liberty *16 March 2018* Wow some fantastic string phones .I wish I was in your class making string phones. ##### Erin *10 April 2018* Great ##### Erin *10 April 2018* Good luck ##### Tilly *20 June 2018* Making the string telephone was very fun because I never knew that you could speak that way ### Leave a Comment ![Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School ](https://files.schudio.com/aberford-primary-school/images/logo/logo-footer(4).png) ### Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School Lane, Aberford Leeds, West Yorkshire LS25 3BU 0113 2813302 0113 2813302 ### Useful Links - [About Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/school-day) - [Term Dates](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/term-dates) - [Admissions](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/our-school/admissions) - [Contact Us](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/contact) ### Social Media - [X](https://twitter.com/AberfordPrimary) ### Translation © Copyright 2016–2026 Aberford C of E (VC) Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://aberfordprimaryschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
