We began investigating electricity in the Jungle today. We watched a short video on electricity and made a "circuit" by holding hands and demonstrating how electricity flows through a path. I broke the kids into groups and introduced two types of circuits: series and parallel. The groups had a great time constructing both types of circuits this afternoon. Fourth grade Indiana state standards call for 4th graders to construct simple circuits/electrical connections. This introduction into electricity will lead up to a final project that everyone LOVES: Jitterbugs!
