Today we had a fabulous science session looking at ELECTRICTY and SIMPLE CIRCUITS using our STEM science kits.
The students brainstormed everything they knew about electricity. They came up with words like; energy, solar power, hydro power, switches, wires, lights, power source. They learnt which part of the battery and LED light was positive and negative and then we discussed what an electrical circuit looks like.
The students needed the following for their simple circuit;
- playdoh
- battery pack
- wires
- LED (light emitting diode)
Once the students had their equipment they were able to just give it a go. You can see from the photos how much enjoyment they students had.
A huge thank you to Whaea Jacky for making us playdoh for our circuits and going through each kit to make sure we had everything we needed to build our simple circuits. We really appreciate your time.
