Description
Class Experience
Students will learn the basic parts of an electrical circuit by creating a light-up LED Holiday card.
For the last four years I have taught 7th and 8th grade science and math, and I have helped students explore the different fields of science including electrical circuits. Electrical circuits are a great way to learn about the differences between potential and kinetic energy. Furthermore, they can lead to a discussion about magnetism and atoms by looking at how positive and negative charges work in these systems. I have created these LED circuit cards with students in the past, and they have had such a blast experimenting with the materials in order to actually make their card light up.
