Making a Switch

Sparky's Light Kit

Getting our supplies out.

Sparky's Light Kit was a kit that allowed us to go on adventures through the science of light and power!  As part of our unit learning about electricity and heat, we made circuits.  It was really fun!

We worked in groups of three to make a light bulb light up.  Each kit had a battery, a wire, and a light bulb.  It was a challenge to get the bulb to light!

After we got good at lighting a bulb, we made home made switches using the same materials, plus some extra wires and paperclips.  We learned a lot and had fun!

Working together to try to light the bulb.
