Modeling your Thinking
Have the students partner up. Then, have 2 cans attached together by 1 string. This will act as a walkie talkie. If you do not know how to create one follow this simple step by step guide: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Walkie-Talkie
After you have that set up, have the students have a conversation with one another. Now ask the students, how does sound travel from one can to the other can?
