Electrical Circuits

Today, I introuduced electrical circuits with kindergaraten and first grade students. Since most students have used Snap Circuits at home, or last year in Kindergarten, most of the focus on the lesson was the componets of a circuit rather than how the Snap Circuits work. If I had students that did not have prior experience with them, I would make sure to spend a few minutes matching the pieces to our key terms (the conductors are the blue pieces, the switches are the green pieces labeled switch, etc.).
