A few years ago a parent built an electricity board for demonstrating the flow of electrons, and the power from a normal wall outlet. Which they donated to me as a demostration tool for years to come. It has been a highlight demonstration of our electricity studies each year. This particular experiment dealt with testing different objects for their ability to conduct electricity. We were looking at what objects are conductors or insulators. The students enjoyed making their quess and testing whether it was true or not. This is a bit dangerous, and yes "please don't try this at home."
Students have also enjoyed experimenting with building electrical circuits and testing how adding more batteries increases the power of the lightbulb. This will culminate with students designing, wiring, and building a replica lighthouse of their choice from one of our regions in the United States.
