Grade 4 had an awesome time exploring how electricity works by building their own\u00a0circuits. \u00a0Students were encouraged to explore the materials and develop their\u00a0own\u00a0“challenge” questions, e.g. How can I make the bulb light up? How can I make it brighter?, etc. They then analyzed what worked and what didn’t work and proposed solutions to design problems they encountered.<\/p>\n

Student particularly enjoyed the challenge of trying to get the fan to spin and the music to play. In order to play music, a parallel circuit was required which took many groups several tries before they managed to get it right. We then discussed what could be learned about electricity distribution on a larger scale based on what we learned from simple circuits.<\/p>\n

Some of the best quotes from the day:<\/p>\n

“I am so excited, I am shaking” -Joao Paulo<\/p>\n

“This is exactly what I want to do! I want to be an engineer!” -Lilli<\/p>\n

“This is the most fun I have ever had in my whole life!” -Joao Gabriel<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Overall, it was a great learning experience! To view photos from the whole exploration click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
