We're a-BUZZ with Learning!

Help me give my students the ability to experience circuits safely! Our electricity unit is always a student favorite but I want them to be able to build circuits every day, not just on lab days

My Project

Our electricity unit is always a favorite for my students filled with fun activities and labs but right now we're doing more worksheets than I'd like! For every circuit diagram my students draw I would love for them to be able to create a real circuit accompanying it. These snap circuit kits will allow my students to have a circuit building set at the ready to test their knowledge and explore electricity.

If exploration is the key to meaningful learning these kits are the key to our electricity unit!

With the ability to transform daily instruction throughout our unit these kits can be a game changer. Snap circuits will let us build circuits more often and more safely.
