Session 1, Wireless Communication Technologies, from Radio to Wifi 
No supplies required, but students may bring wireless technology tools (radio, cell phone) for show-and-tell with the class. 

Session 2, Chemical Reactions & Battery Technologies
No supplies required, but students may bring household batteries to share with the class, and may optionally purchase a lemon battery kit to follow along with the instructor. To acquire a lemon battery kit like the instructor's demo kit, on Amazon search for "4M Kidzlabs Lemon Powered Clock." Other lemon battery kits can be substituted. 
(Note: A lemon is not included in the kit)

Session 3, Hands-on Circuits with Squishy Circuits 
Required Materials:
1 Squishy Circuits Lite Kit or Standard Kit
Squishy Circuits kits are available on Amazon (please search "Squishy Circuits" on Amazon to find them). Either a "Lite Kit" or a "Standard Kit" will work for this course. 
Session 3 uses a Squishy Circuits set (Lite Kit or Standard Kit) for safe hands-on circuit building exploration. It includes a specially-designed child-safe battery holder with electrical leads. The kit can be re-used many times, and the class includes instructions for ongoing circuit-building activities. Please note: the battery holder requires 4 AA batteries (not included).  
Note: The Standard Kit includes additional building materials: a container of non-conductive insulating dough, 3 dough colors, 25 LEDs and a piezoelectric buzzer. These extra materials are not required for the class, but will expand the creative options available for the student. 

Please order the Squishy Circuits Kit 1 week before class begins, so your child will have materials ready for the class. Students can also bring various metal and non-metal items found in their home to incorporate into their circuit designs, such as paperclips, pipe cleaners, screws, wires, paper, empty plastic containers, bubble wrap, styrofoam, etc. For easier clean-up, it is recommended that students use a piece of cardboard, paper or flat plastic (such as a plastic placemat) to build their circuits on. Student will also need a stable tabletop surface for building.

Session 4, Piezoelectric Materials and the Thermoelectric Effect
No supplies required, but if available in the household, students may bring piezoelectric products (light-up shoes, piezoelectric buzzers) for show-and-tell with the class.
