LED Valentines

During February and March, we are studying electricity and magnetism.  One of our essential questions is: how does an electrical circuit work?  Our class got some hands-on experience last week creating circuits, in a very creative way!  Using cell batteries, copper tape and LED lights, we worked with Mrs. LaRussa in CLIC to create LED valentines.  We really enjoyed creating these fun cards and learning how to make a circuit work.

Massachusetts Science Frameworks, Physical Sciences 6:  Recognize that electricity in circuits requires a complete loop through which an electrical current can pass, and that electricity can produce light, heat and sound.
