Kirsten wants to know how many strips of wire she will need to connect a bulb and battery to make the bulb light up. How many strips do you think she'll need?
A) one B) two C) three or D) four and explain your reasoning.
I would say she will need two because I don't think it will take much wire, though I think it will take more than one.
CIRCUIT LAB
A strength of the pink lab was that it is more simple and straightforward. A weakness is that if you cannot get the first step easily, you can't continue with the steps so a student may get discouraged and give up if they don't get that first step.
A strength of the yellow lab was that it is more of a challenge which is good for a student who wants to further their understanding. A weakness is that this lab is more complex-students must make different circuits and compare them which may be hard for an elementary student to grasp.
What students will learn from this lab:
NCES Standard: Physical Science Content Standard B: Light, heat, electricity, and magnetism
Learning Goal: Students will know that electricity in circuits can produce light and heat and that electrical circuits require a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass.
Learning Performances: Students will be able to manipulate a large battery, wires, and a light bulb to build a circuit in order to make the light bulb light up.
