Wand Circuits

In this hands-on STEM lesson, students will learn about basic electrical circuits by designing and building their own light-up wands. Using craft sticks, copper tape, an LED light bulb, a CR2032 battery, and electrical tape, students will explore the principles of electricity and energy transfer. The lesson follows the 5E instructional model—Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate—to provide a structured learning experience. Students will engage in problem-solving, creative design, and experimentation, ultimately demonstrating their understanding of electrical circuits through a functional and personalized light-up wand.
