Students engage in an interactive "hot potato" demonstration to gain an appreciation for the flow of electrons through a circuit. They role play the different parts of a simple circuit and send small items representing electrons (paper or candy pieces) through the circuit. Students describe the functions of a switch and light bulb as resistors in a circuit and list several products that have been engineered to use electrical energy. Full Review »

Students explore electricity and electrical circuits. They explore series and parallel circuits using Christmas lights. Students pull lights out of each strand of lights. They observe the results when the light bulb is pulled out. Students discuss what happened when they pulled the bulb out of each strand. Full Review »

Students experiment to find out how to light a bulb with simple materials. They make predictions if a light bulb set-up could work and gain knowledge to tell the difference between an open and closed circuit. They also figure out what resistors and conductors are and give examples of each. Full Review »
