The 4th grade team participates in an electricity unit. The objectives of the unit are to make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat and electric currents. Students can quickly build traditional circuits using batteries and wires, however, we hope that through these STEM tools that are hands on with a variety of functions, students will be able to apply scientific ideas to design tests, and refine their understanding. One of these tools is called the Makey Makey - by using an Arduino like board, students can connect wires to conductive materials and use their own by it has a conductive material to create experiments. With another tool, squishy circuits, students can create their own series or parallel circuits, developing hands-on experiments to demonstrate what they are learning about in class. With yet another tool, they can use a pen to literally draw series and parallel circuitry and test the two. These are just some of the specific things that can be done with these electricity tools. These tools will be used in the electricity unit and will be available to students in the maker space. We hope that this grant allows students to build stamina by learning with engaging and thought provoking tools.
