Student groups will explore how electricity moves by designing series and parallel circuits using simple circuit materials.
The Energy Coalition will send you roll of insulated copper wire, wire cutter, small light bulbs, light bulb stands, 6-inch insulated copper wires with ends stripped, and transformers to bring this lesson to life.
Lesson Objective: Students will plan and carry out an investigation showing the path of energy transfer, or transformation, in a simple circuit.
Suggested Teaching Time: 60 minutes
NGSS Standards: 3-5-ETS1-1., 3-5-ETS1-2, 4-PS3-4.
