Fun with Electronics: Building a Simple Circuit
Students will learn the basics of electricity and circuits while building their own simple circuit using conductive tape, LEDs, and a battery.
Fun with Electronics: Building a Simple Circuit
For this project, we will be building a simple circuit using conductive tape, LEDs, and a battery. This project will help students understand the basics of electricity and circuits while also allowing them to get creative with their designs.
Learning Outcomes:
- Students will understand the basics of electricity and circuits
- Students will be able to identify the different components of a circuit
- Students will be able to build a simple circuit using conductive tape, LEDs, and a battery
Methodology:
First, we will introduce the concept of electricity and circuits to the students. We will show them examples of different types of circuits and explain the different components that make up a circuit. Next, we will demonstrate how to build a simple circuit using conductive tape, LEDs, and a battery. We will provide the students with the necessary materials and allow them to experiment with building their own circuits. Finally, we will have the students present their circuits to the class and explain how they work.
Resources/Materials:
- Conductive tape
- LEDs
- Batteries
- Scissors
- Paper and pencils for sketching designs
Instructions:
- Introduce the concept of electricity and circuits to the students
