Electricity Workshop

The Physics class is working through a series of electrical activities: Electronic Circuits Workshop with Snap Circuits, Escience Lab with Snap Circuits, Paper Circuits, and Squishy Circuits.  BTW, the link has complete lesson plans for squishy circuits including recipes for the play dough.  We are also providing battery packs, alligator clips, and bulbs, with bulb holders, and asking kids to light the bulb.  The Physics class is going to play with everything and design a lesson for a group of high schoolers in the Co-op for Monday.  Snap Circuits kits run from $21-100.  Goodwill often has sets for less.  More to come Thursday.  Squishy Circuits sells kits worth considering.  I often buy a simple kit for the instructions or lessons.  The $10 kit isn't a bad deal if you have only one or two children working on circuits.
