Description

Introduce your students to the wonders of electricity with this engaging and budget-friendly Electrical Circuits Paper Cards Activity, ideal for STEM classrooms!

This winter-themed project is perfect for holiday celebrations, whether it's Christmas, Hanukkah, or simply the winter season. These printable card templates feature festive designs including a snowman, Christmas tree, and Happy Hanukkah motif, igniting students' creativity while they delve into the fundamentals of electrical circuits.

With step-by-step illustrated instructions and a video demonstration guide, this DIY project empowers students to construct their own paper circuits, fostering a hands-on learning experience. Through practical exploration and a student-friendly reading comprehension passage included, learners not only build their circuits but also gain understanding of electric current, closed circuits, potential and kinetic energy, as well as conductors.

For each card, minimal additional supplies are required, ensuring accessibility for teachers on a budget. With just one LED, a 3V button battery, and approximately 12 inches of copper tape per student, along with common classroom items like glue, tape, and napkins, you can facilitate a memorable learning experience for your entire class. The materials for this project can be procured for less than $20, making it an affordable option for educators.

Watch as your students delight in the process of creating their own light-up cards, combining scientific principles with artistic expression. Perfect for complementing a unit on electricity and magnetism, this activity encourages exploration and discovery in the classroom while fostering a sense of accomplishment as students proudly take their creations home to share with their families.
