My Project

Putting these Snap Circuit kits in my students’ hands will let them work cooperatively to learn the basics of electricity and then use what they learn to inspire them to create new projects. The hands on activities bring excitement about learning that pencil and paper assignments just don’t have. Students will work cooperatively with their peers to assemble projects and discuss their findings. Working cooperatively will also support communication skills and problem solving skills. My students will flourish with the opportunity to be creative, inventive, and scientific all while learning important science content.
