Fourth grade is the first time students are introduced to the concept of electrical circuits. Students LOVE to use wires and batteries to make electrical circuits to power lights and buzzers. They enjoy experimenting with multiple batteries, various switches and a multitude of ways to use wires to make complete​ circuits. Kids get excited about science when there are important hands-on opportunities in the classroom. The Discover Electric Circuits Kits will supply my students with the basic building blocks of a simple electrical circuit. The Snap Circuit kits will provide over 100 exciting projects as an extension to the science curriculum.
