| Steven Bagdy | GA-EMS | Park Village Elementary School, San Diego CA | Funding was spent on materials to do a group demonstration on current and resistance. The materials for this included a car battery jumper, a box of paperclips, two ring stands, and 6 light bulbs. After that, the interactive portion used funding to buy 50 white LEDs, 5 packs of 8 9V batteries, 9V battery clip connectors, 2 30 packs of pencils, and a pack of scotch tape. | I used the car battery charger to melt the paperclips and explain current, resistance, and voltage potential. After melting 3 paperclips, one student asked if light bulbs work on the same idea. This allowed for a segway into causing light bulbs to burn out after the glass was removed to show it does work in a similar method. Once all the students were done, the school assistants passed out 9V batteries and LEDs and “tested” their circuits and helped fix them where necessary. They were then allowed to keep their papers and the LEDs and Batteries were given to the staff for their use as needed. Total amount of students for this activity and demonstration was ~70. |
