The 4th graders at SL Elementary are learning about energy transfer and circuits. Sadly, we can only learn so much watching videos and making diagrams and drawings during our Zoom class. Hands-on experience will solidify the connections! In past years, students were able to practice and create circuits in the classroom with their peers, but unfortunately that is not possible. By giving each young engineer their own snap circuits kit, they can assemble over 100 different electronic circuit projects with just 30+ electronic parts! The pieces, which include snap wires, slide switches, an alarm circuit, a music integrated circuit, and a speaker, snap together easily on the included plastic grid--no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices. Please help my 4th graders spark an interest in electronics!
