The 4th grade students were experimenting with sound and engineering “telephones” with different materials . As they tinkered and tested, laughter filled the air, mingling with the hum of excitement. With each new creation, they marveled at the power of engineering to bring their wildest dreams to life. Their telephones weren't just devices; they were portals to adventure, connecting worlds with the mere whisper of a word.
