My Project

My students are interested in learning more about electricity.

The Circuit Scribe pens, kits, and batteries will allow my students a safe opportunity to investigate and experiment with electric circuits.

Students will learn to make closed circuits with the Circuit Scribe pens. They will make the different sensors complete various tasks. Students will start with the basics and build increasingly complex systems at their own pace. Students will experiment with light sensing, timed circuits, and more!

They will use the LED lights, a Circuit Scribe pen, and a battery to make an individual project to take home.
