The batteries are used for making electromagnets, series, parallel circuits and making small motors, as well as, buzzers run. However they don't last long when used for 3 hours due to the amount of classes using them. Aluminum pie plates are used for demonstrating Newton's Laws of Motion but end up getting bent during the experiment. Students are fascinated by Newton's Cradle, therefore at the end of the unit they build their own using the large tongue depressors. These supplies are useful in experiments and necessary to get the students to working together. Using batteries to make a magnet is always an experience for students.
