This week we began studying electricity and magnets in Science. I am not a big fan of electricity. It may have something to do with a past experience as a small child involving an extension cord, a vacuum, and...my mouth! NOT GOOD! But I am still alive to talk about it today and the story ends with a trip to get ice cream! (Thanks Mom!) Anyways, back to Science...! Today we experimented with creating our own electrical circuits. Here are some pictures.
Stduents discovered that the metal paper clip is a conductor.
The rail in our room is also a conductor; however, the pencil did not light the bulb.
This circuit had a switch to turn the light on and off. We deicided it was a good day to be able to produce our own electrical current and turn some light on....just in case the power went out!
