Debbi, I see your question has been answered, but here's some added information for your class. Funiculars are indeed cable cars, but specifically cable cars which ascend (and descend) mountains or hills.
They're still in use in plenty of places today -- Pittsburgh has a few -- so you may be able to find a photograph of one to show your class.
