We started our study of electricity with a battery, a small lightbulb, and a wire. Putting them together to make the bulb light was not easy, but we did it! We tested various materials to determine whether they are conductors or insulators. We examined a light bulb, found its conductors and insulators, and figured out how the electric current travels through it.
We used our knowledge of conductors and insulators to make our own electronic math games.
We took our games to the 2nd grade. It was fun using the games to help the younger girls practice their math facts!
We found out that there are only 2 kinds of electric circuits, parallel and series circuits. We created both types of circuits first with batteries, lights and wires, and then using "Snap Circuit" kits.
Our final project was really special. Using the dollhouse rooms we made for French class last year, we added 2 lights, wired in parallel, to illuminate the room.
It was challenging, but we succeeded and we are proud of our new creations!
