Students Experiment with Sound Energy

At Harrison Park Elementary School (Penn-Trafford School District) Mrs. Hoffman's fourth-grade science classes are studying various types of energy.  Most recently, they explored sound energy and how it travels in waves by vibrations. They completed a hands-on activity of making "telephones" with cups, strings, and paper clips.
