LED lights, circuits and electricity: Part 2 of 3 Squishy Circuits
Students will investigate how a simple circuit works through the use of Squishy Circuits. This is part 2 of a 3 part unit but can also be done as a stand alone activity. Students will draw and label models of their circuits when competed and discuss properties of a circuit with their peers.

Students investigate the movement of electricity within a circuit and examine how a circuit can be used to power a device where electrical energy is transferred to complete a task by making wobble
Students will create a flying machine that will hold a pilot, travel down a zipline, and meet other constraints. This is paired with the book Rosie Revere, Engineer or can be used as a fun intro to
This is a continuation of lesson 1 and 2. Students will learn about kinetic vs. potential energy and apply that knowledge to their car designs.
