What’s The Buzz?
Posted by Joey CaseyWe have been reviewing some of the broad topics of Makerspace as we have started the school year, including electrical circuits. Students have been challenged to create a circuit that can make an LED bulb light up, and eventually they have a circuit with an on/off switch, an LED bulb, and a buzzer. Everyone is super excited about the buzzers! With these basic circuits, we have been able to discuss the following vocabulary: conductor, insulator, current, and volts/voltage. Students have been so excited when completing a successful circuit and have learned about working with electricity, especially safest practices. We have been busy conducting experiments with basic circuits, and have yet to create a project for the topic to take home. As I discussed on Back to School Night, Students are laying the foundation of skills for the remainder of the year so that we can continue to build upon those skills in future projects. Looking forward to sharing our progression with volts!
