The Snap Circuit kits are hands-on tools to get students comfortable with circuitry and electronics. When students use the Snap Circuits they practice reading and following diagrams and directions, as well as having fun and creating their own interactive project. I envision the students exploring the kits and growing their knowledge using an inquiry method: 1. explore the pieces and make reasonable predictions about how the circuits may work; 2. follow the diagrams in the kit to create functioning circuits; 3. reflect on their project through oral and written communication; 4. be introduced to basic electricity and circuitry principles after having had hands-on experience; 5. create their own functioning circuits using their new knowledge. The kits encourage the use of 21st century learning skills: Creative & Critical thinking, Collaboration, and Communication. Students are encouraged to critically analyze their circuit creation to ensure it works and get creative by developing their own circuits. Students will use collaboration skills as they work in small groups to complete their circuit challenges. Students will enhance their communication skills by reading directions, writing reflections, and orally explaining and reasoning how the circuits work.
