Lesson information
I came across the book and kit for Pumpus Has a Flowing Idea. I decided to use this to teach the kids about circuits. I turned the lesson into an entire unit that took six days to complete. I started with a kit that can be used to put various circuits together. I built off of this to create lessons that spanned roughly a week in all core subject areas.
A series of six lessons on electricity and circuits.
