Great Lakes Lighthouses and Electricity

The lighthouse project has been part of our electricity and magnetism unit for many years.  Students choose a Great Lakes Lighthouse to research and build while learning about electricity and magnetism.  They worked on a Profiler Project for our differentiated choices at home and then constructed their lighthouses here at school.  They are then tasked with wiring a simple circuit to making their lighthouse come to life.  Last Friday we put together our Great Lakes Lighthouse Museum and had some visitors from third grade, and the other fourth grade classes to see what a great job we had done!
