Punch holes in the bottom of two tin cans, string some string through it, tie knots at both ends, and there you have a fake telephone that doesn't work in any sense. =)

Nobody knows when the string telephone was invented (as far as I know), but I do know that the tin can telephone was invented in 1664-65.
The tin can sound is produced when vibrations from Zoe tapping the can travel along the string to your end, causing the can on your end to vibrate and create sound. This happens because the string acts as a medium for the vibrations to travel.
yes the shorter it is and the more lightweight it is the better your tin can telephone will be.
Try wire
Sound is caused by the vibration of the molecules in a medium. In most cases, this is air, but sometimes can be other materials (screaming underwater, metal on the traintracks). In the tin can phone, the string carries the vibration from one end to the other, where it vibrates the air and becomes normal sound again.
Yes. You can demonstrate this for yourself. Use a small nail or screw to make a small hole in the bottom of each of two empty tin cans. Thread a couple of inches of one end of a ten or twenty foot string into each of the tin cans, then tie a not into the ends of the string so that the ends of the string won't come back out of the tins. With a partner hold the tins so that the string is taut between you. One of you speak into his tin whilst the other listens. You should be able to hear that the voice is carried along the string.You can google for tin cans and string for pictures and more instructions.
To make a phone using cups and string, you will need two cups and a long piece of string. Poke a small hole in the bottom of each cup and thread the string through the holes. Pull the string tight and talk into one cup while the other person listens through the other cup. This creates a simple communication device using the cups and string.
