Let Your Light Shine

Help me give my students the opportunity to learn about circuits, switches and using recycled materials to make it all happen.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Clemens's classroom raised $175

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students will be able to create working circuits with recycled materials. They will create simple circuits , create a super hero emblem using lights from circuit, learn about switches, create a holiday card for someone special and create a working operation game all while learning about circuits. The book Scrappy Circuits shows kids how to create working circuits with recycled materials that we have in the classroom. Students will learn how electricity travels through the circuit and how they can harness the electricty to make lights turn on, motors run and things move.
