TEAMWORK!

So proud of their work!

I asked the question..."Can you make this bulb light up with just a piece of wire and a battery?" The kids had a chance to find out for themselves. I gave them a little bit of guidance and eventually every group figured it out  on their own! We learned about current electricity, complete circuits, load, path and source! They loved it!
