SCIENCE EXHIBITION



During this science unit the students have been learning about different sources of energy, how energy transfers, and building electrical circuits with batteries, light bulbs, and wires.  As a culmination of this unit the students will be making electrical quiz boards for their exhibition this trimester. Using the batteries, light bulbs, and wires, the bulb will light when a paperclip, or other metal object, is touched to items that match (questions and answers will be on the board). 

The above supplies will be available for the students, but they will need to bring a poster board in to school.  We will be making these boards during school on Thursday and Friday, February 17th & 18th, so please have the poster boards at school by Thursday.

I have also asked the students to donate electrical tape for holding down the wires on the back of the board.  We will probably need 4-5 rolls.

Thank you for your continued support.  Please call or email me with any questions or concerns.
