My Project

Learning about science concepts like electricity becomes easier when we can experience it hands-on. Paper circuits are an easy way to learn about circuits, conductors, and insulators while also giving students an opportunity to express themselves through art.

A hands-on experience in electricity will widen the horizons for the upcoming generation.

This project will be used to do a lesson on basic concepts of electrical circuits. Students will be creating a card for someone they care about that will light up when closed (when the electrical circuit is closed). Please help me give my students this unique learning opportunity.
