Electricity

On Tuesday, we experimented with circuits to learn about electricity.  Students worked in small groups to try creating a closed circuit.  Most groups had such great success using problem solving strategies, they were able to experiment with multiple batteries and wires and even switches.  We learned that connections have to be in the correct place, circuits have to be connected and closed, shorter circuits have more power, and more batteries give more power.  

Most importantly, students learned to plan, try out their plan, and if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
