Today in science we learned about electrical circuits and short circuits by building circuits online! Students showed that they understand how current works by lighting up a lightbulb with a switch that will open the circuit. We then had some time to explore and students found out that creating a short circuit can cause fires, and resistors will change the amount of light that a bulb will produce. It was a fun exploration of electricity!
If you'd like to join along at home the link to the website with the circuit builder is on the Google Classroom.
We are starting a math unit on fractions and decimals tomorrow, so have your kids join in doing some baking so they can see fractions in the world outside of the classroom.
