You do not "read" a stethoscope. It is a device that allows medical personnel to hear sounds within the body. Areas of sounds you can hear with a stethoscope include:

  1. heart sounds
  2. arterial sounds, such as a bruit (an abnormal sound)
  3. breath sounds (lungs)
  4. bowel sounds

Where can I find a description of how a stethoscope works that is good for elementary school students to read?

There is a cute description of a stethoscope at Educational Learning Games. It is an ad but the description still works. I found a website that has a description of a stethoscope and has an assignment on making your own stethoscope that seems pretty good. It seems like a pretty good experiment for elementary school students. Check out Making a Stethoscope at OSU.
