This should have gone before my last post, but I'm not going to worry about it. There are too many papers on my desk to worry about any kind of order in my life!! Occasionally I try to organize my desk. Occasionally the occasional organization project is actually successful. So we can't expect my blog to be that much more organized! Okay, here is the worksheet I had for my series and parallel class. Our lesson was to be able to tell the difference between the two (series has one path for the electricity to flow, whereas parallel has two or more paths). We went through multiple examples where the students had to show with their fingers how many paths there were. Once everyone had the correct number of fingers, I asked them if that made it series or parallel. We also had to be able to tell if the light bulbs would turn on. If one is broken, what happens to the others? If switch A is open, but switch B is closed, which light bulbs are on and which are off? Lots of fun. I like this kind of stuff because my mind loves puzzles.
Hi there! We made it through the first half of the 10 Days of Electricity and Magnetism series. Are you inspired to tackle this fun subject with your kiddos? We’ve covered a lot this week: bits of history, static explorations, and yesterday we talked about making an electroscope. Today we’re moving along… and talking
Are you looking for a way to discuss regulating emotions while doing a fun STEM activity? Your students can learn the basics of circuits as well as the basics of the upstairs and downstairs brain functions with calming strategies! Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson present a concept in their book "The Whole-Brain Child" that helps us understand the brain in a simple way called the upstairs and downstairs brain. Students will learn about the different parts of their brain based on this concept and then create either a popup card (younger students) to visualize what they learn or to use the engineering design process to design and build a paper circuit house (older students) that has lights to light up which "floor" of their brain is active. Students will also learn calming strategies to prevent their emotions from getting too big! This is a critical lesson for students to be equipped during STEM challenges that often end in failure or conflict within teams. Included in this product: Teachers guide Pop-up card and paper circuit templates Student design sheets guiding them through the engineering design process Background handouts on the Upstairs and Downstairs Brain, circuits, and electrical engineering STEM career connection Recommended Materials: Copper tape LED lights 3V coin cell batteries Scissors cardstock Clear tape Markers Emoji face stickers (optional) Looking for more STEM lessons?
